Not one less and femicides in Neuquén
The first Ni Una Menos march was held on June 3, 2015 and brought together nearly 300,000 people. in front of Congress, before the public commotion generated by the femicide of Chiara Páez, 14 years old, in Rufino, Santa Fe, who was eight weeks pregnant.
The teenager was found in the patio of the family home of her boyfriend, Manuel Mansilla (17) who, according to the Justice, he beat her to death because he did not want her to continue with the pregnancy.
In Neuquén, last year two femicides were registered, who met on the same day (October 19, 2022). One was that of an older adult who, along with her partner, were found dead with a gunshot wound. The second was a linked femicide: a man murdered his brother-in-law because he was preventing her from attacking his ex-partner.
2022, in the province, was marked by femicide attempts that had many of their victims on the verge of death.
This year There are already five femicides that are added to the list. They are regarding the double femicide of Norma Morales and Light of Milagros Prietothe one of Cristina GonzalezKaren Ibarra and the last of Carolina Beatriz Epullan.
3J: march for the Gender Emergency Declaration in Neuquén
The benchmark for Pan y Rosas, Julieta Katcoff, analyzed the progress from the first “Not One Less” until now: “When this date approaches I always start to take stock. And when I think of 2015 to this part I say, well, what changed? And it profoundly changed the subjectivity of women who, until 2015, lived and went through these situations of violence, of inequality that are typical of a patriarchal capitalist society, where women occupy that role. But 2015 served to break in, to make it public, to meet with others, to mobilize. That was a before and following.”
However, the militant remarked that the governments have not intervened with forceful policies that help to solve the underlying problems. «For us there was a certain demagogic appropriation of our struggle by governments and the State. It incorporated the discourse with a gender perspective, Ministries were created, portfolios were created, observatories were created, visibility campaigns were created that, yes, are good, but that do not respond to what we were demanding, “she said.
Katcoff stated that, for there to be a fundamental change, more budgets must be allocated to specific tools that help women to get out of the circle of violence: shelters, economic resources that allow them to sustain themselves with dignity, interdisciplinary teams that can address the violence from different areas.
The referent indicated that in 2016 they entered a project of Emergency Declaration on Gender Violence, but the MPN “boxed it.” She recalled that, at that time, the person who presided over the Neuquén Legislature was Rolando Figueroa, the governor-elect. For this reason, she is not very optimistic that the new management can take gender policies seriously.
Where he does see a true transformation is in the mentality of the young, “the girls” who put their bodies to the demand for legal abortion and promoted the “green tide.” «It seems to me that in a context in which there is a tendency to resignation, where nothing can be done, we want to fight it. And it seems to us that in the youth, in these girls, there is hope that there really is a profound social change, “she stressed.

3J: From MuMaLá they warn regarding the resurgence of Gender Violence in Neuquén
“In Neuquén we have already carried out these five femicides in the last five months,” said the reference for Women of the Latin American Matria (MuMaLá), Marta Infante. She observed that in 2022 the province entered the National Femicide Registry only in October, with two cases: “The truth is that it seems to us a very serious situation.” For this reason, at the end of the month they will be presenting in Congress, once once more, the bill Declaration of Emergency in Gender Violence, given the lack of resources.
Infante questioned that both the national and provincial governments do not take the problem of gender violence seriously. He said that, following the inauguration of the elected governor, Rolando Figueroa, they will seek to meet with him to express the demands of the sector: “Obviously, the incoming government will be within, let’s say, the spaces that we are going to visit looking for answers.”
