every 36 hours in the country made a femicide in the first ten months of the year. The data comes from a survey conducted by the Institute of Legal Studies of Women (unwanted), from the cases published in newspapers and news portals in all provinces. The study will be presented hoy en la sede rosarina de la Gobernación de Santa Fe, en el marco de las actividades por la conmemoración del Día Internacional de la No Violencia contra la Mujer, que se celebra el miércoles en todo el mundo. En total se registraron 204 feminicidios. En el 93 por ciento de los casos resultó imputado un conocido de la víctima: casi en la mitad de los hechos fue acusado y detenido su pareja o ex pareja. El 46 por ciento de las mujeres asesinadas tenía entre 15 y 34 años.
“Los feminicidios son crímenes de odio contra las mujeres, crímenes misóginos acuñados en una enorme tolerancia social y estatal ante la violencia de género”, definió la mexicana Marcela Lagarde, Professor of Anthropology at the National University of Mexico, author of several books on the subject and UN adviser on gender issues. "Femicide is an act of extreme violence, which lays bare the situations of terror, humiliation, scorn, harassment, rape, physical abuse, psychological, emotional, that these women lived," said Naomi Chiarotti, coordinator of undesirables, an NGO Rosario. The specialist said that not all violence that kills a woman can be considered as "femicide." "When the victim's gender is irrelevant to who the killer is a murder not a femicide, "he said.
the absence of official statistics, various women's organizations made the decision in recent years to keep track of the cases published in print and online to give visibility to the serious problem of violence against women the country and raise awareness in society and public officials. The numbers, then, are partial and, presumably, could be even higher.
Between 1 January and 30 October this year, the survey found 204 Indes femicide in the press. This is the second year monitoring being conducted in collaboration with Women Autoconvocados de Rosario (MAR). In the first 10 months of 2008 accounted for 170 femicide. It is difficult to determine whether there were additional cases or the increase is due to transcend the media further. However, the number hits. In 85 per cent were executed by a close relative of the victim, according to news reports, in 51 femicide, the defendant was the dead woman's partner, in 44 cases, his ex, and in 49 events, an acquaintance or relative as a parent, brother or son-in-law among others.
The search for cases was in charge of Mercedes Pagnutti, who reviewed between 30 and 40 daily newspapers and national, regional and local print and online across the country. According to his assessment, "the fury with which some women were killed was higher this year than last." Femicide cases with thirty to forty stab wounds, told this newspaper, were breathtaking. "I have no words to express how it feels to read such facts. Mentally affects a lot, "he said. 35 percent of femicide was achieved with a knife, or 24.5 percent, with a firearm and 30 percent with beatings, strangulation, hanging, dipping or burns.
On the first day of the year, Pagnutti encountered two cases. One occurred just south of Santa Fe province, in the town of St. Edward, General López Department, where he was found dead of multiple stab wounds Mary Biletto. His body was in a house under construction. He was 14. He was arrested her boyfriend of 20 years. The second femicide 2009 took place in the city of Cordoba, Nora Diaz, 32, was beheaded by his partner before his sons 12 and 9 years. The last two cases in the study correspond to 30 October. In Lujan, Buenos Aires, Maria Belloto, 31, was found strangled. He worked as maid in a country in the area. The alleged murderer, 35, became known him. That same day in the city of Cipolletti rionegrina, Jessica Garrett, 14, was also strangled with a wire. Her partner, aged 21, was imprisoned.
