Overview
- The Registro Nacional de Femicidios de la Justicia Argentina published its 2025 report on Saturday showing 200 direct femicide victims, a 12.3% drop from 2024.
- The presidency’s Oficina de Respuesta Oficial cited the RNFJA figure to credit Milei-era security policies and pointed to a broader decline since December 2023.
- Feminist observatories led by the Observatorio Lucía Pérez report 271 femicides and transfemicides for 2025 and say the RNFJA method excludes territorial and other context-linked killings.
- The RNFJA study finds recurring risk patterns: victims had prior ties to attackers in 83% of cases, 78% of attacks happened inside homes, at least 44% involved prior gender violence, and at least 20 perpetrators were current or former security-force members.
- Provincial data show uneven distribution with Buenos Aires accounting for the largest number and Misiones the highest rate, Catamarca recorded two official femicides with suspects to face jury trials, and 144 children were identified as potential beneficiaries of reparatory law N° 27.452.
