- Femicide is the murder of a woman motivated by gender. Femicide is perpetrated by a figure that the victim knows in a vast majority of cases. Between 2016 and 2017, 64% of femicide cases in Ecuador were committed by a former member of the household and 25% were committed by a current member of the household. Between 2007 and 2012, the 25 countries with the most femicides make up more than half of femicide victims, and of these 25 countries, 14 are either in Latin America or in the Caribbean. Throughout the 2010s, femicide began to be legally recognized by different Latin American governments; Mexico recognized it in 2012, Chile in 2010, Ecuador in 2015, and more. As a result, governments have been able to better keep track of femicide statistics and begin to take the steps to address the causes of the issue and policy solutions. In 2019, Brazil and Mexico saw the most femicides per 100,000 women, an increase from previous years for both countries. Awareness for this issue in Latin America has increased with films like the "Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo", which tells the story of Marisela Escobedo Ortiz and her fight to hold the perpetrator accountable for the femicide of her daughter, and "Feminicido en Latino America", which explores the effects that this issue has in the countries they look at. There have also been protests throughout Latin America calling to address this issue, the most recently prominent being the March 2020 protests in Mexico. Pink crosses are used to commemorate victims of femicide throughout Latin America. (en)
