Mexican Human Rights Activist Missing Amidst Threats

Sandra Domínguez, known for defending Indigenous rights and tackling sensitive cases, disappeared with her husband in Oaxaca.

Sandra Estefana Domínguez Martínez and her husband were last seen on October 4 in María Lombardo de Caso, Oaxaca.
Domínguez, a Mixe Indigenous rights defender, had received threats related to her work on femicide and rape cases.
In 2020, Domínguez accused state officials of participating in misogynistic group chats, leading to ongoing threats.
Their car was discovered abandoned in Veracruz, an area known for criminal group activity.
Human rights organizations are pressuring authorities to intensify the search, while calls for government intervention grow.
