Regional analysis of legislation and policies on organized crime and violence against women and girls, and femicide/feminicide. Adaptation of regulatory frameworks according to the Palermo Protocol

This report is part of a series that seeks to generate knowledge on aspects of violence against women and girls that have been little explored to date, as well as, their relationship with emerging phenomena such as organized crime. The research focuses on the review of legal frameworks on organized crime and violence against women and girls in Central America, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Following an evidence-based analysis, its main objective is to provide recommendations to help States adjust their legal approach to the prosecution of organized crime and its link to gender-based violence, especially sexual violence, disappearances, trafficking, and femicide/feminicide.
