Overview

• Media and observatories documented between eight and eleven femicides in the first half of October across Córdoba, Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, Chaco and Entre Ríos, including multiple double killings.
• Most recent cases were attributed to partners, ex-partners or relatives, with a large share occurring inside victims’ homes.
• At least two victims had previously reported their aggressors and were using alert devices, yet institutional responses did not avert the attacks.
• Year-to-date counts differ by source, with monitors citing roughly 178 to 195 femicides, and reports noting children left without their mothers.
• Civil society organizations call for tighter monitoring and protection measures as several suspects remain in detention and investigations detail extreme violence and body concealment.
