The horror of feminicide: different aspects
There are different variables that allow us to understand the types of femicides, according to the UN, this phenomenon has been classified according to the relationship between victim and perpetrator in four categories: i) femicide of intimate couple, ii) femicide of relatives, iii) femicide for other acquaintancesand IV) Femicide of strangers, all crossed by the different oppressions that women live day by day
On the other hand, & Laporta catalog two types of femicides, which agree to mention in this research that they are:
- Intimate feminicide: refers to the murder of a man with whom the victim had or had an intimate relationship or relationship: husband, boyfriend, ex -boyfriend or lover. It is about adopting the friend who murders a woman, friend or known, who refused to have an intimate relationship with him.
- Non -intimate feminicide: it is this murder committed by an unknown man with whom the victim had no relationship: sexual aggression that culminates with the murder of a woman for a stranger. It is also considered that non -intimate feminicide is the case of a neighbor who kills his neighbor without any relationship or link between them.
In this order of ideas, Toledo adds two other types of femicides which are:
- Children’s feminicide: committed against minor girls or who do not have mental capacity, regardless of whether they are descendants or daughters to the fourth grade
- Systemic sexual femicide: it is the codified murder of girls and women as women whose dispossessed bodies have been tortured, raped, killed and thrown into transgressive situations by men who use misogyny and sexism.
