The term refers to the murder of women who by their beloved. Although today the word is a "neologism", NGOs and legislators who defend the rights of women proposed as a new criminal
gender violence increasing day by day. In the few weeks of the year and at least four women were killed by the hands of those at some point, or at least until "that" moment, loved. Compare
figures year after year is alarming, but behind the numbers there are stories, most of them unknown because they did not transcend the means or because they were not related to entertainment figures.
What is the penalty that is now the man who kills his wife?
According dictates the Argentine Penal Code, who kills a person, if convicted and found guilty of manslaughter, prison meet between 8 and 25. That this is so depends on the management of defense, the prosecutor's request and the decision of the judge who examines why the murderer took that life insurance, full of dreams and projects.
The family link to the person killed is an aggravating factor.
In recent months some "known" cases raise the issue of gender violence to the top of the newspapers. In case Ricardo Barreda, who became owner of four lives, returned to prison a few days ago.
also the drummer for the band Callejeros, Eduardo Vazquez was arrested but not yet defined whether or not to blame for the death of Wanda, who set fire to their young children sleeping in the little room next door.
The etymology of femicide
According to the Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed Forces, between 113 and 200 million women each year away demographically. Despite
collect these data, the most popular online encyclopedia defines femicide as "part of feminist theoretical background." The search in Google yields approximately 172,000 results for that word.
The term femicide was coined in England by Mary Orlock at the beginning of the 70's and was first used in public by Diana Russell in testimony before the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women, held in Belgium in 1976. Same Russell
defined femicide as "misogynist murder committed by men of women." Refer to the misogynist killing of women and girls as femicide, makes evident that the women killed by their husbands, lovers, parents, boyfriends, suitors, known or unknown, is not due to unexplained reasons, pathological behavior, or coincidence. Call
femicide deaths of women, remove the veil obscuring the cover with neutral terms such as homicide and murder, said Radford and Russell.
The concept of femicide indicates the social and generalized violence based on gender inequality and can eradicate the idea that the murders of women by their partners are "crimes of passion." This violence is not accidental, the risk factor is being female.
In Argentina, July 13, 2008, Adriana Marisel Zambrano, 28 years old was killed in Palpalá, San Salvador de Jujuy.
dead was punched and kicked in various parts of the body and José Manuel Alejandro Zerda, 29, was found author of "
felony murder" and sentenced to 5 years in prison for murdering his former partner and mother of his daughter, who at that time was only nine months.
From that time to honor his memory Civil Association "La Casa del Encuentro" acts in the country to prevent similar cases from occurring.

law, the Comprehensive Protection to prevent, punish and eradicate violence against women in areas where they develop their relationships defines violence against women in article 4 th as "any conduct, act or omission, directly or indirectly, both in public and private, based on an unequal power relationship, affecting life, liberty, dignity, physical integrity, psychological, sexual, economic or patrimonial as well as personal safety.
remain including those perpetrated by the State or its agents. "
Gender violence is one that occurs because a man considers a woman as the property belongs and believes he can do whatever they want with it as their sons or daughters.

Violence has its roots in social and cultural issues must be understood that it is a basic issue of human rights, "said Fabiana Tunisia, and sensitizing the general coordinator of the Civil Association" The meeting house, "Adriana Zambrano Program. While

"Violence is a cycle and begins with psychological aggression, where disqualification, control, abuse, isolation. The victim has trouble realizing that the relationship is ill, violent. "
regard, Dr. Eva Giberti , national program coordinator "Victims Against Violence" , noted the importance of helping abused women to "think again about who is loving."
"This is the more delicate because they involve deep feelings and compromising for the woman who loves a guy who makes such threats, "he described.
"After psychological aggression displayed the first shots, Tunisia, and later said the apology appears and promises as "going to change" request to which she relents and goes back to trust. "
This produces in women a sense that he deserves nothing better, that life takes beatings and torture, the worst thing is that violence does not end there, but with fatal victims for having made the complaint, some cases, became a lower number in the list of femicide.
This Association produced a report on femicide in Argentina from 2008 to 2010 and found that of the nearly 260 fatal cases, 27 had had prior complaint against the aggressor. The House of the meeting will ask the Legislature this year to be added to the Penal Code figure of "femicide" as a separate.

“No es cualquier amenaza porque actúa en el inconciente porque cualquiera se quemó alguna vez y la sola amenaza revive el dolor que se sintió con ella”, relató la coordinadora del programa “Las victimas contra la violencia”. A la vez, destacó la importancia de la presencia de la Brigada contra la violencia ante una denuncia, porque con ello queda vislumbrado en la zona que hay una mujer esta pidiendo auxilio y que lo recibe. “Debe quedar claro en el barrio, en sus alrededores y entre sus familiares que ella está saliendo con un sujeto peligroso. Las amenazas aparecen en los últimos cinco o seis meses y se van acrecentando and the facts were increased in the last two or three months with significant repetition, "he said.
