The Registry includes all cases of femicide of women (girls, adolescents and/or adults) that occur each year and are perpetrated by men for reasons associated with their gender, whether or not they have been classified as femicide.
Conceiving the murders of women for gender reasons in this way allows for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon and its causes, including a social component that centers on the fact that all expressions of violence against women are rooted in constructions of power that organizes social relations between men and women.
The procedure to be followed by the OM is as follows: all information is collected on deaths of cis women, trans women/transvestites, that occurred in the Province of Entre Ríos each year, then periodic communications are established with the Fiscal Units of each jurisdiction where the event occurred, thereby extracting all relevant data for the purposes of the Registry. Once the information is obtained from the Fiscal Units, and following the protocol to know if it was femicide, violent death or natural death, it is studied in the OM to finally complete the forms that will be sent to the CSJN for the final preparation of the Registry.
