On February 21, 2023, Norma Lizbeth Ramos, a 14-year-old Mexican student was summoned to a fight by Azahara Aylin Martínez, a classmate. That day, Ramos was hit multiple times with a rock in the face and head by Martínez. Ramos had been a victim of bullying by Martinez and other classmates and was student of Secondary School #0518 (Escuela Secundaria #0518), located in the municipality of San Juan Teotihuacán, State of Mexico. On March 13, Ramos died due to injuries and brain trauma caused by Martínez.[3]
The event was recorded by the girls' classmates and published on social media, the video went viral. The video showed no empathy from the other students who witnessed the moment, who mocked and supported Martinez instead of stopping her.[4] On November 14, Martínez was sentenced to three years of confinement in the detention center for adolescents Quinta del Bosque.[5]
The violent nature of the event, as well as the inability of the educational establishment to prevent this death, caused a widespread social upheaval in Mexico.[6][7] With the problems of bullying, racism and discrimination that are experienced in the country also resurfaced.[8][2][9] The case is popularly known as Norma Lizbeth Case (Caso Norma Lizbeth).
