Feminicide is the murder of women at the hands of men for the sole reason that they are women. It occurs in a social context influenced by a patriarchal mentality, and is a serious problem that affects not only Central America and Mexico,
but also other countries in both Latin America and Europe.

The European Parliament resolution on ‘The murder of women (feminicide) in Mexico and Central America and the role of the European Union in fighting the phenomenon’ (2007/2025(INI))1, adopted by the European Parliament in October 2007, is an instrument that, if properly applied, can serve as an appropriate means to fight against this phenomenon.
