Sumario:In recent years, the feminist movement in Mexico has had a greater presence in the public space in various cities of the country. Parallel to this phenomenon, there has been a criminalization and stigmatization of feminist protest in which the State plays an important role, while society and the media play a secondary role. This study includes an analysis of the dynamics in which the collective action of women against the eradication of violence in Mexico has been criminalized and stigmatized by various actors through 11 interviews with Mexican feminist collectives and a Twitter Space on criminalization of protest conducted by "Somos el medio", which is a critical and independent news media on the Internet, produced in March 2022. The main findings point to the diversification of types of criminalization by the State, and of stigmatization by the media and users of socio-digital network sites.
