UAEM students take to the streets of Morelos: they vandalize the streets to demand safety and justice for female students who are victims of femicide

On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, hundreds of students from the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos (UAEM) marched through the streets of Morelos to demand security and justice following the feminicide of exchange student Claudia Tacoronte Aguilera. The demonstration highlighted growing concerns regarding campus safety and the perceived lack of institutional response to violence against the student body.

The protest occurs amidst a broader pattern of violence, as four UAEM students have been murdered within the first nine months of 2026. Despite these multiple fatalities, authorities have made limited progress in investigations, with only one arrest recorded across all four cases. The march serves as a public call for accountability and an end to the impunity surrounding these crimes.
