JASSO VARGAS, Rosalba. Estimated Number of Femicides in Mexico on the Basis of Individual Homicides. Carta econ. reg. [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.128, pp.85-125.  Epub 01-Oct-2024. ISSN 2683-2852.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cer.v0i128.7835.

Women in Mexico face two wars that threaten their lives; on the one hand, the violence of machismo and misogyny and on the other, the generalized violence caused by the “war against drugs”. While part of the criminal violence usually implies multiple homicide events, femicides usually take place as actions specifically directed at them individually. This paper establishes the limitations of the methodological tools used by other investigations in the delimitation of femicide and offers a new operative definition. The analysis of multiple murders reveals that the death of a significant proportion of women is linked to the death of other men, and simultaneously, the analysis of individual homicide shows a reconfiguration of risk spaces for women not necessarily associated with criminal violence.

Palabras llave : femicide; multiple homicides; gender violence; delinquent violence; murder.
