Desde la primera marcha de Ni Una Menos hubo un femicidio cada 31 horas - Primera Fuente

The report from the "Now They Do See Us" Observatory reveals that extreme gender-based violence in Argentina is a domestic and structural phenomenon, with a fatal victim occurring every little more than a day over the past eight years. The central conclusion is that the perpetrator is not a stranger, but in the vast majority of cases belongs to the victim’s intimate circle, debunking the myth of the “alien monster” and highlighting that the home is the most dangerous setting. The relevance for open data lies in how this report uses the aggregation of public media information to generate robust statistical evidence on a socially ignored issue. The data show that the justice system chronically fails: although many victims had previously filed complaints, few had access to effective protective measures, confirming the existence of “announced” femicides. This correlation between prior complaints and homicides demands institutional transparency and real protective mechanisms. Furthermore, the analysis highlights an increase in victims killed by security forces, introducing a new risk variable linked to access to firearms. This approach demonstrates the power of open data and collective intelligence to monitor public policies, reveal patterns of impunity, and hold the state accountable in the face of persistent gender-based violence.
