"In a major setback in the fight against gender-based violence, Argentinian
President Javier Milei’s government has announced it will repeal the crime of
femicide from the penal code.
In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Milei dismissed
femicide laws as a product of “woke” culture and called “radical feminism” a
distortion of the concept of equality.
Repealing the law could have a ripple effect across the region, encouraging
other countries to weaken their legal protections. This would be devastating
for women and girls across Latin America.
Efforts to end violence against women and girls must remain a priority — in
Argentina and around the world.
In 2023 alone, an estimated 85,000 women and girls were intentionally killed
worldwide. Of these, 60% were murdered by an intimate partner or family
members.
This equates to one woman or girl killed every ten minutes at the hands of
someone they know and likely trusted."
