Feminicide in El Salvador is lethally perpetrated by men that perform hegemonic masculinity and by violent criminal structures. Nevertheless, the study of this crime is usually reductive, explained by analysing isolated crimes, usually blaming victims and their circumstances, such as their choice of partner, the places where they live, or the perceived moral corruption of their actions. Against such victimization, this chapter studies feminicide by characterizing it as a systemic problem that reflects an unchanging norm: the view that women’s lives matter less because they are perceived as inferior, an idea that has burgeon from the atypical war on gang violence but that has not been named or recognized. Given the initial institutional response and actions of the people involved, which result in the horror felt by women whose existence is threatened, feminicide cements an oppressive system grounded on a generalized attack on women’s bodies and their possibilities of having a decent life.
