Abstract
FRAGOSO LUGO, Perla. Gender-Based Violence against Women and Girls and Feminicide in Yucatán: Notes for its Investigation. Península [online]. 2021, vol.16, n.1, pp.191-217. Epub Feb 04, 2021. ISSN 1870-5766.
Based on Marcela Lagarde's proposal to approach feminicide as a phenomenon closely linked to the geopolitical territory where it occurs, as a set of murders that need to be reviewed as such and not in isolation, as well as feminicides being preceded by a continuum of violence, in this article some elements are placed in order to socially characterize the space of deployment of gender-based violence against women and girls, and its most radical expression, feminicide, in Yucatán. This, problematizing and questioning a mechanical explanation that has correlated the presence of these phenomena only with contexts of high insecurity or criminality.
Keywords : gender-based violence; femicide; security / insecurity.
