During 2026, a total of 67 women have been killed in the city of Cali. In response to these homicides, the District Personería has formally requested that local authorities investigate and determine how many of these violent deaths officially meet the legal criteria to be classified as feminicides.
The intervention by the oversight body highlights ongoing concerns regarding the precise categorization of gender-based violence against women in the region. By demanding a deeper investigation into the specific nature of each crime, the Personería seeks to ensure accurate legal proceedings and accountability for the victims.
