Femicide/feminicide has become an increasing social concern for local communities, international organizations, and national governments. In 2007, Latin American countries began enacting legislation to prevent and punish femicide/feminicide; however, relatively few researchers have assessed the scope and depth of this legislation. Using Carol Bacchi’s (2009) “what’s the problem represented to be” approach, this study analyzes femicide/feminicide across Latin American countries. The goal of this approach is to assess concepts that are taken for granted within policies and uncover what has been silenced through problem representations. Results provide considerations for future legislative development in Latin America and abroad.

拉丁美洲杀害女性/杀害女性立法的问题表现

杀戮女性/女性杀戮已成为当地社区、国际组织和国家政府日益关注的社会问题。2007年，拉美国家开始立法预防和惩处杀害女性/杀害女性；然而，相对较少的研究人员评估了这项立法的范围和深度。本研究使用 Carol Bacchi (2009) 的“问题代表是什么”的方法，分析了拉丁美洲国家的杀戮女性/女性杀戮。这种方法的目标是评估在政策中被视为理所当然的概念，并揭示通过问题表述而被压制的内容。结果为拉丁美洲和国外未来的立法发展提供了考虑。
