Margo Glantz: “It is terrible that someone cannot go out at night because they are a woman"

On Friday the 22nd, after the Nuevo León Attorney General’s Office confirmed that the body found in a cistern in a motel corresponded to Debanhi, the writer tweeted that more and more femicides occur in Mexico.

Tribute to Margo Glantz

In the tribute made at the Tlatelolco Cultural Center (CCT), which in the end became a general complaint about the insecurity situation, he considered that words are lacking to understand what is happening in the country.

“We have no words to regret, to describe, to understand why what is happening is happening… Every day we see that a girl of six, 15, 20 is attacked. Every day we talk about the disappeared and those who have appeared without life, it seems truly terrible to me”.

Glantz was hurt that every day “when looking for a body they find numerous female bodies in the same place. It is terrible that someone cannot go out at night because she is a woman and that because she dresses or goes out alone or drinks, she is attacked, martyred, raped and murdered”.
