This book responds to the Trumpian generalisation branding Mexican men rapists, drug dealers, killers and ‘bad hombres’. Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways – they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women’s rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men’s challenge to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work and in the public sphere.
