Titelbeschreibung

Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - International Politics and Country Analyses, grade: 1,1, University of Bonn, language: English, abstract: This research aims to expose the discourse of government officials, the Catholic Church, feminists, and civil society around the feminist protests that have taken place in the context of high rates of violence in Mexico. Particularly, the aim is to understand if the discourse reinforces gender-based violence. The main methodology used was Critical Discourse Analysis to analyze the aforementioned positions, and specifically Fairclough's three-dimensional model. To this end, the situation in which the protests take place is first outlined in order to understand the context in which the discourses are produced. Through this analysis, it was found that the discourse strengthens gender-based violence, since it criminalizes the form of protest and delegitimizes the movement, putting the gender-based violence faced by women in the country in the background.
