FEMICIDE: Conceptualization and Problematic Perspectives
Abstract
This paper centres on the conceptualization of a social phenomenon of homicide against women, namely “femicide”, which
has been announced by the Ministry of Justice with the growth rate of 1,400 percent in seven years. It focuses on the debates
regarding the meaning and the content of the concept “femicide”. Doing this, the paper aims at pointing out the fact that the
dominant classical approaches of the official institutions which are in charge of femicide cases are problematic as they do not
consider the fact that femicides often occur within household. Deriving from Rosemary Gartner and Bill McCarthy’s work (1991)
on the issue, the paper examines and criticizes the classical perspectives which shape the approaches assumed by official
institutions and the public in general.
