Femicide in Latin America: A Growing Threat to Women's Security explores the persistent and rising rates of femicide across sixteen Central and South American countries as a critical issue of national stability and regional security.

The book examines how cultural norms like machismo, organized crime, state-level patriarchy, and human trafficking create environments where women face increasing risk, supported by comprehensive data, case studies, and lived experiences. It features a Colombian case study documenting the first legal recognition of femicide as a weapon of war, demonstrating how conflict amplifies gender-based violence. By connecting femicide to broader security discussions, the work offers practical policy recommendations to address this escalating crisis.

Femicide in Latin America: A Growing Threat to Women's Security is essential reading for students, researchers, and policymakers in human rights, security studies, Latin American politics, feminist studies, gender studies, and international law.
