Feminicidios en Perú. ¿Son algunos departamentos intrínsecamente más peligrosos para las mujeres?
Journal Title: REVISTA DE ANÁLISIS ECONÓMICO Y FINANCIERO - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Femicide in Peru is a problem that affects each of its departments, some to a greater extent. Departments such as Madre de Dios and others in the south of the country (such as Tacna, Arequipa, Ayacucho or Moquegua) have consistently had the highest rates of femicide in recent years. This situation could be evidencing favorable conditions for femicides in specific geographical areas or be part of general conditions that favor higher rates of intentional homicides and, as a consequence of this higher level of violence, higher rates of femicide. In this context, using a panel data model, for the period 2011-2018 and the 24 departments of the country plus the Constitutional Province of Callao, we seek statistical evidence to conclude whether, after controlling the aggregate femicide rate (which includes femicide attempts) due to the intentional homicide rate, temporal effects and various variables used in the literature (such as government initiatives, gender progress variables, variables associated with femicide, macrosocial variables), significant differences persist in the femicide rate added between departments. We found that at a significance level of up to 10%, in the Constitutional Province of Callao and Tacna, Ica, Arequipa and Moquegua there would be effects associated with the department that would explain a higher rate of aggregate femicide, so the recommendation focuses on directing public policies correctly, through a targeted treatment of this type of crime in the aforementioned areas.
