| Summary: | In the paper femicide is analyzed as a gender-based violence whose origin is
in feminicide. Feminicide is a term which designates social, cultural and
ideological construction which survives in the continuity of institutional
weakness. Gender-based violence appears as a mixture of institutionalized
misogyny, patriarchate and abolition of women`s rights as human rights. The
paper starts from the assumption that the basis of feminicide is in the
continuity of the culture of violence and ideological matrices which promote
adversarial discourse toward women, where amplified social and cultural
tensions move to the sphere of gender-based violence. Femicide, as a visible
and manifest violence, derives from the invisible institutional structure in
which violence is continual, cyclical and reproductive. The subject of this
paper is the attempt to get an insight into the invisible background of
femicide as a form of violence rooted in feminicide. Its aim is
contextualization of femicide into the existing structure of violence, and an
analysis of some aspects of its social and cultural origin. |
