Femicide has been taking place for a long time, since this is an extreme point where many women have a violent death, this can be caused by their partner or ex-partner, and often by unknown persons with no link to the victims. Likewise, there are different types of victims and the typology of femicides. The sample was made up of all the women who were victims of femicide during the 2020 pandemic, a total of 137 cases of femicide in Peru, where they have been classied according to the place where the case occurred (macro-regions), their age (age group at they belong) and how the femicide occurred.
