At present the femicide has become one of the most frequent types of killings in the world, especially in Latin American countries. Despite the great strides to achieve gender equity, violence against women persists in society. The femicide is one of the most recurrent problems of the XXI century. Thousands of women are exposed to all kinds of violence to which, in many cases, they end up murdered by their sentimental couples or strangers. The most worrying aspect of this situation is that the murder of a woman became something natural and the femicide does not appear to be penalized with any kind of moral or social guilt.
