ABSTRACT
Feminicide, the pandemic of women-killing, is a current crisis in Latin America. Statistics are alarming: in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, about 300 women have been killed since 1994;1 in Guatemala, 250 women were killed in just the first six months of 20042 and over 2000 since 2000.3 Though concentrated in these two locations, feminicide is not contained here. The violence is present and escalating throughout the continent, including the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile and Argentina.4
