dc.description.abstractPublished in the report “Femicide in Central America 2000‐2006,” the original research was undertaken in seven countries of the region. Figures for the region show that the risk of violent death is growing more rapidly for women than men. The rate of increased homicides of women in Guatemala is double that for men; in El Salvador it is almost triple, and in Honduras it is four times as high. The findings signal the necessity to identify changes in the relative status of men and women and in gender relations in countries where there is disproportionate growth in deadly risks for women. This is a detailed paper that traces the context of the violence, and the increase in the rate of femicide in Central America.en
