This paper is designed asqualitative research by applying a descriptive approach and using data from academic literature,reports, official websites, and newspaper publications. The analysts seek to argue that internationalorganizations, the UN – through its agencies, the OHCHR, and UN Women – have demonstrated theirrole as a forum to accommodate Mexican civil society organizations to address the challenges in theiradvocacies towards the victims of sexual and gender-based violence in Mexico.
