Although it is not easy, an ideal solution may be for people to begin identifying their attitudes and beliefs with misogynistic backgrounds and thus be able to begin to correct them both internally and externally.Reducing objectification, derogatory remarks and seeking control over women.

One of the ways in which this violence spreads is through the so-called patriarchal pact, which according to Ana Grimaldo (2021) is the set of practices reproduced and protected by men and that cause scenarios of subordination for women.

It would also help to improve administrative records to know actual numbers, promote prevention programs and allocate economic resources for the prevention of violence and reparation for victims.

This problem also expands into how the media portrays these violent acts.

Gender violence is still increasing, it can occur in any of the areas of daily life and can result in mental health problems and a feeling of loss of autonomy in women.

“Feminicide in Mexico rose significantly, from 427 reported victims in 2015 to 1,004 in 2021, marking a 135 percent increase”(Vision of Humanity, 2022, par.9)
