Mexican woman faces prison for killing her rapist.

A Mexican woman, Roxana Ruiz, who killed a man in self-defense while he was attacking and raping her, has been sentenced to over six years in prison. The ruling has been criticized by experts and feminist groups who say it highlights Mexico's poor record of bringing perpetrators of sexual violence to justice. Despite the court finding that Ruiz had been raped, it said she was guilty of homicide with "excessive use of legitimate defense." The case has sparked outrage and protests, with women's rights groups accusing Mexican authorities of revictimizing survivors and failing to judge cases with a gender perspective.
