    There are many theories behind why women are being targeted in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua- Amnesty International and the Washington Office on Latin America have done excellent work in investigating the various reasons. Above all we are asking people to pressure elected officials to stop the impunity for whomever is committing these crimes and make Mexico a safe place for women.

    I just thought I'd mention that here, in case any other viewers thought of contacting their Senators or Representatives.

  • North America is a ...

    North America is a continent, America is a country.

    North America = Northern Continent.

    South America = Southern Continent.

    Americas = Both Continents.

    America is a country, also known as U.S.A, United States of America or U.S. for short.

    Similar names but different meanings.
