We will not forget nor will we accept : femicide in Central America, 2000-2006

Translation of: No olvidamos ni aceptamos : femicidio en CentroamericaTranslation into English of the original Spanish language text by Susan MurdockSpanish version available in IDRC Digital Library: No olvidamos ni aceptamos : femicidio en Centroamérica, 2000 - 2006Gender-based violence and femicide permeate throughout society. In less than a decade, rates of killings of women have doubled in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, moving beyond levels believed to have been similar for other countries of the region. For this study, a femicide context is constructed to determine if killings considered femicides respond to relationships and contexts of male power and control that are present in all societies, or if new contexts and regional dynamics have arisen that lead to extreme forms of violence against women. Concluding recommendations focus on proposals that deal specifically with the escalation of femicide and the brutality as evidenced in the region
