* Coinciding with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, more than 1,000 "Women in Black" marched through Mexico City on November 25, 2002, demanding justice for the more than 300 young girls and women who have been killed in Ciudad Juarez since 1993. Mexican authorities have been unable to identify the killers or establish a motive in these murders, although drugs and sex slavery is suspect.

Mexico's First Lady Martha Sahagun de Fox has called the killings the country's most outrageous example of violence against women.
