Femicide is a category used by feminist movements and, later, by international human rights bodies to refer to the homicides of women that constitute gender-based violence. This category makes it possible to demonstrate the relationship between the death of a specific soman and a social system that subordinates women as a group. In this context, criminal justice is responsible for specifying which specific cases constitute femicide and, based on this, reaffirming the right of women to live a life free of violence and stereotyped gender patterns. However, the criminal prohibition of the femicide in Latin American legislation -particularly in Peru- has been a process characterized by various criticisms, resistance, and difficulties. As a correlate, this courts have had serious problems applying the category. In this scenario, the present investigation will systematize and critically assess the rules that the Suprema Court of Justice of Peru has used to define what is and what is not a femicide. This will identify those interpretative problems that have been overcome -at least at the Suprema Court level- and those that, by persisting, maintain serious impunity gaps.
