Femicides in Peru: 67 victims in six months and cases that remain unpunished due to escapes, delays, and pending judicial decisions

During the first half of 2026, Peru recorded 67 victims of feminicide, exposing ongoing systemic failures in the country's justice system. These cases continue to lack resolution due to suspect flights, procedural delays, and pending judicial decisions that hinder the effective location of responsible parties.

Simultaneously, separate violent events occurred in Guanajuato, Mexico, where an armed attack during a casual soccer match in San Francisco del Rincón resulted in one death and five injuries, as confirmed by the local prosecutor's office.
