RASGOS DE VÍCTIMAS DE FEMICIDIO Y LOS FACTORES QUE INCIDEN EN ESTE DELITO

Abstract

Femicide is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly popular among the population due to the unprecedented increase in deaths among women in recent years. Discrimination and violence against women is a silenced and naturalized problem that is maintained because of the subordinate position of women within a patriarchal society; which contributes to keeping women in social disadvantage. The objective of this research is to identify the psychological characteristics of victims of femicide and the factors that influence this crime. It is concluded that femicide is the last link of a life full of violence resulting from gender inequality, based on a system of oppression that seeks to intimidate and control women. The methodology used was descriptive exploratory type with a mixed approach, due to the collection of information on femicide and research on national and international statistical data
