SANCHEZ RUIZ, Abraham  e  GONZALEZ GONZALEZ, Rogaciano. Gender differences in torture actions of the Mexican Navy (2006-2018). Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.57, pp.179-197.  Epub 03-Mar-2021. ISSN 2395-8669.  https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2020.1.8.

This article presents an analysis of gender differences in cases of torture attributed to the Mexican Navy. Our objective is to demonstrate that gender is related to the intensity and type of mistreatment in the victims. We analyze the information of the recommendations issued by the National Commission of Human Rights is- sued in the Secretariat of the Navy in the period of 2006-2018. The results indicate that gender is independent in torture methods such as beatings, responses, suffocation and electrification. But the variable gender is dependent when using methods of forced nudity, sexual violence and rape. Additionally, the intensity of torture among woman victims is greater than that of men.
