Femicides increase to a degree of frustration in Nicaragua
Until September 2022, the Catholic organization for the Right to Decide registered 47 femicides in Nicaragua and 120 frustrated femicides in this same period, which warn that women continue to be unprotected before their aggressors.
For his part, the director general of the Nicaraguan Police, the sanctioned commissioner Francisco Diaz Madriz, assured that the rate of femicides in Nicaragua has decreased, although the figures compiled by the feminist organization indicate that male violence has increased at the national level, as well as femicides in a degree of frustration.
Martha Flores, director of the feminist organization, explained to Article 66 that last year Daniel Ortega’s Police only reported 15 femicides, this is due, according to the human rights defender, to the fact that the regime “classifies femicides according to Law 779 with the presidential decree where femicides are carried out only by the partner or ex-partner.
“On the other hand, our observatory is based on the originality of the law,” he said. He also mentioned that so far there have been more than 120 frustrated femicides. “Women have been lucky to survive,” she said.
