Argentina has registered a historic improvement in gender-violence statistics: femicides fell approximately 25% this year, marking the lowest figure recorded since 2017. The decline — measured across the national territory — represents one of the clearest indicators of progress in public safety during President Javier Milei’s administration.

The numbers show 211 femicides so far in 2025, compared to 282 cases en 2023. After years of increase, the country breaks a negative cycle and enters a period of reduction in violent gender-based homicide, restoring confidence in state action and security institutions.

A Turning Point in Public Safety

This shift reflects a broader transformation in government priorities. Milei’s administration has placed public order, law enforcement strength, and state authority at the center of its security agenda. The data suggests that a results-driven approach — instead of ideological frameworks — has produced measurable outcomes in protecting women and reducing extreme violence.

For thousands of families, this is more than a statistic: it is the proof that institutional protection is possible when the State operates with clear rules, decision-making capacity, and a security doctrine focused on crime prevention instead of bureaucracy.

Structural Factors Behind the Drop

• Strong alignment between national and provincial security forces
• Faster response from justice operators in risk-level cases
• Greater emphasis on prevention, monitoring and early detection
• Firm stance on criminal accountability without political intermediaries

These policies mark a new phase in national security — one where the State retakes control instead of yielding space to criminal structures or ideological paralysis.

The Challenge Ahead

Although the reduction is substantive, 211 femicides is still an unacceptable number. Consolidating this decline requires persistence: better protection systems, early-intervention programs, coordination between courts and police, and sustained institutional discipline. Argentina has taken a decisive step — now the objective is to turn progress into permanence.
