Abstract
This work addresses feminicide violence as a social process rooted in patriarchy and wild capitalism that undermines, invisibilises and attacks women. We identified the connecting elements of the legal system and the social dispute. Of the feminist geography critical of the possibility of change and the commitment to transform unfair conditions, it puts the gender space as a highly complex social production. Here we see precisely how the feminist movement, made up of activists, groups and families of women victims of violence, including the academy and various feminist currents present in the political sphere, has led to changes at the legal level. However, these transformations have sparked resistance in conservative groups. In the 2018 National Census, an empirical study was produced based on statistics on the prosecution and delivery of justice. On the basis of these data from state entities, national maps were drawn up to show resistance to classifying crimes against women as femicide. Considering the theoretical framework based on the triad methodology of space, we refer to the creation of spaces free from violence, the complexity involved and the resistance to be overcome through the feminist movement and the transformation of legal frameworks.
