Regional research-action coordination to end violence against women in Central America

The aim of “Femicide in Central America 2000-2006” was to analyze the cases of deaths of women that presented indications of being femicides. It also worked to determine if they could be classified according to specific elements and to have access to statistics that reflect the dimensions of the problem. The current study was designed and implemented with the participation of 16 researchers who are members of the Central American Feminist Network. They selected and analyzed two social dynamics per country in which femicide was a factor and which were emblematic of the phenomenon in their country. The report provides details of background, methodology, analysis, research outputs and project activities
