In the province of Buenos Aires in 2025, a total of 146,046 criminal proceedings were registered for family and gender-based violence. This figure represents 14.1% of all criminal cases initiated in the province that year. The official report also counted 74 femicide proceedings, resulting in 78 fatal victims. This accounts for 60.5% of all registered homicides of women in the province. The 'Femicides and Criminal Proceedings for Family and Gender-Based Violence' report brings together all cases initiated for crimes included in the Family and Gender-Based Violence Criminal Registry (REVIFAG), as well as the facts investigated as violent deaths of women and trans women during 2025. For the compilation of femicide data, all criminal cases initiated that year in the province where violent deaths were investigated were analyzed, regardless of whether they were legally qualified as femicide under article 80, section 11 of the Penal Code. Regarding the methods used, physical force was the main means employed (35.9%), followed by firearms (23.1%). The link between the victim and the aggressor appears as a predominant element. Likewise, in 13 cases, the aggressors committed suicide immediately after committing the femicide. The survey also identified other intentional homicides in contexts of violence for gender reasons, including 10 cases with male victims. Additionally, 12 of the victims (15.4%) had previously filed complaints against their aggressor: in nine cases the bond was intimate and in three, family. Regarding the typology of the reported crimes, 27.7% corresponded to threats, 24.5% to injuries, and 12.3% to disobedience of judicial measures. The report also indicates that at least 83 sons and daughters were left as indirect victims of the femicide of their mothers, of whom 46 are under 18 years of age. As for the accused, 58% were between 18 and 40 years old at the time of the fact.
