Dolores Figueroa Romero is a researcher at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS) in Mexico City. Dr. Figueroa’s academic expertise focuses on conceptualizing structural, social and extreme violence against indigenous women in rural areas and critically dialoguing with the anti-racist feminist advocacy work in Mexico. During the last two years, she was part of an initiative aimed at creating networks between social researchers, technicians and indigenous women’s organizations, such as the National Coordination of Indigenous Women of Mexico (CONAMI) to strengthen their community initiative called “Community Emergency of Violence” to build a database to document various types of violence that impact indigenous women and their peoples in various regions of Mexico.

Dr. Figueroa has published numerous articles in refereed academic journals and chapters in edited volumes on violence against indigenous women in Guerrero, such as: “Defensoras comunitarias, violencias múltiples y búsqueda de justicia en territorios indígenas Tlapa de Comonfort, Guerrero” 2020, with María Teresa Sierra and Marisol Alcocer; “Anti-Manual for conducting workshops with survivors of grave human rights violations through a territorial and participatory focus”; with Teresa Sierra Camacho (2020) “Alertas de género y mujeres indígenas: interpelando las políticas públicas desde los contextos comunitarios en Guerrero, México,” in the Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies; (2019) “Políticas de Feminicidio en México: Perspectivas interseccionales de mujeres indígenas para reconsiderar su definición teórica-legal y las metodología de recolección de datos” in Journal of International Women’s Studies.
