Violence against women has its origin in gender inequality,
that is, in the position of subordination, marginality and risk in
which they find themselves compared to men.

The violent death of women for reasons of gender, typified in

our penal system as femicide, is the most extreme form of
violence against women and one of the most serious
manifestations of discrimination against them.
In our Federal Penal Code,
femicide is typified in article 325,
which establishes the following:

"Anyone who deprives a woman

of her life for reasons of gender
commits the crime of femicide.
 Gender reasons are considered to exist when any of the following circumstances occur:
 The victim shows signs of sexual
violence of any kind; The victim has
been inflicted with infamous or
degrading injuries or mutilations,
before or after the deprivation of life
or acts of necrophilia;
 There is a history or data of any type
of violence in the family, work or
school environment, of the active
subject against the victim;
 There has existed between the asset and
the victim a sentimental, affective or trust
relationship; There is data that establishes
that there were threats related to the
criminal act, harassment or injuries of the
active subject against the victim;
 The victim has been held incommunicado,
whatever the time prior to the deprivation
of life; The body of the victim exposed to
the sea or exhibited in a public place."
 Commonly, homicides committed against women are not investigated taking into
consideration that they could be femicides.

 For this reason, the Latin American Model Protocol for the investigation of violent
deaths of women due to gender recommends that all violent deaths of women that in
principle would seem to have been caused by criminal reasons, suicide and accidents,
must be analyzed from a gender perspective, in order to determine whether or not
there were gender reasons in the cause of death and to be able to confirm or rule out
the reason for it
