Undergraduate Honors Thesis

Abstract

• Femicides, the intentional killing of women because they are women, have been a rising issue within Latin America and the Caribbean for the past 30 years. This issue has caused many countries within the region to explore different processes for criminalizing femicide. Mexico and Colombia are two countries that have been leaders in the region by implementing expansive and inclusive penal codes. Throughout this paper, I will be discussing important background information concerning Mexico and Colombia to create an important context for the paper. Additionally, I will explore how Mexico and Colombia have criminalized femicide through three different factors: 1) international non-governmental organizations (NGOs); 2) domestic courts; and 3) legislators.
