Abstract
The progressive criminalisation of femicide throughout Latin America is the result of many struggles that have been carried out by academics and civil society. This important regulatory step highlights the seriousness of the problem of gender-based violence against women. However, we must question whether this criminalisation is actually being applied correctly in all cases. In this investigation, it is visible how the judicial system and the right itself are based on the patriarchal budgets that have structured them, with the result that the legislative recognition of femicide is not applied in all cases of attempted femicide.
