Four students slain in Morelos as Mexico counts around 520 femicides
Four female students have been murdered in Mexico's Morelos state since January, including a Spanish woman on an exchange programme, in a state with one of the country's highest femicide rates. Femicides have fallen since Claudia Sheinbaum became Mexico's first female president in 2024, but campaigners say impunity still reigns.

> Four female students have been murdered in Mexico's Morelos state since January, among them a Spanish woman studying there on an exchange programme, according to a France 24 report. Morelos, just outside Mexico City, holds one of the highest femicide rates in the country.
Nationally, the picture is mixed. Claudia Sheinbaum became Mexico's first female president in 2024 and pledged to tackle violence against women. Femicides have fallen since she took office — but the toll is still alarming, with around 520 murders so far this year.
The latest killings in Morelos have sparked outrage among feminist campaigners, who say Mexico remains gripped by gender-based violence and a culture of impunity. France 24's Quentin Duval and Laurence Cuvillier reported the story, with Ed Augustin.
The report aired on 13 November 2026.
