The research article, “Querying feminicide data in Mexico”, written by Saide Mobayed Vega and Maria Gargiulo, discusses the fact that data on gender-related killings are too often inaccurate and incomplete. They discuss information taken from Timmit Gebru et al.’s data sheets as well as Sarah Holland et al.’s data nutrition label frameworks. They also discuss the mortality records of the Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática (INEGI) and the alleged feminicide investigation files published by the Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública (SESNSP). 

The article outlines that there is an inconsistency between the INEGI and the SESNSP data due to underreporting. They also discuss the data in terms of how they measure feminicide differently and how it is understood and discussed sociologically, and argues that how feminicide is understood in Mexico needs to be communicated more effectively. Although there has been increased awareness on the topic of feminicide throughout the world, there are still many gaps in the data in many countries. 

The article also discusses the sociological forces that contribute to feminicide not being taken seriously enough in the research, such as patriarchy, discrimination against women, oppression against women, wilful ignorance, and limited resources. The article provides deep insight into the state of feminicide research in Mexico and what future steps need to be taken in order to strengthen the body of research and the organizations contributing to the research.
