Dominican Republic has reached a tipping point in femicide. Each year, more than 102 women are killed by their partners of life. This wave of femicide is terrifying, so far this year more than 53 women have been killed in gender-based killings, according to the latest police figures.
According to mavens and word of mouth opinions, this high figures of femicide is triggered because of the Dominican Republic "Macho" culture, that blame the women of being abused or harassed.
The victims are usually women that have suffered domestic violence and the killers are their husbands or boyfriends, who slayed them when they dont want to go on their relationship.
