Factores psicosociales que intervienen en la criminalidad de la mujer: el feminicidio

Resumen

In this article we intend to analyze the various psychosocial factors that intervene in the behaviors related to the murder committed against women (feminicide), motivated by hatred or the assumption of ownership over women and that covers any homicide committed based on gender discrimination. Likewise, we address different theoretical constructions related to feminicide, including: What is gender and what it means to be a woman in the 21st century, machismo and the patriarchal regime, gender violence, femicide, typology and psychosocial factors related to feminicide. Likewise, we mention laws that deal with the protection and eradication of Femicide and all forms of violence against women. Finally, within the conclusions we argue that feminicide and other forms of violence show us that women are still not fully citizens even in democratic societies, thanks in part to the patriarchal system that has relegated women as a secondary position. in society.
