Activist-researcher Helena Suárez Val leads Feminicidio Uruguay, a project dedicated to monitoring, recording, and mapping cases of feminicide in Uruguay.

She initially started collecting data as part of a collective effort to publicly protest, mourn and make visible gender-related killings of women in Uruguay, organized from the Coordinadora de Feminismos del Uruguay. From 2016, Suárez Val continued the project independently and has been collecting and publishing data about feminicide, feminicide attempts, and other violent deaths of women ever since.
