"Ahora Que Sí Nos Ven" — Argentina's Civil-Society Femicide Observatory

"Ahora Que Sí Nos Ven" is the femicide-monitoring observatory that grew out of the "Ni Una Menos" mobilisation of 3 June 2015, continuing a tradition of civil-society femicide registries in Argentina pioneered by Casa del Encuentro from 2008. It is run by feminist activists and researchers rather than a government agency.
The observatory cross-checks media reports, court records and police information to build a case-by-case femicide registry, publishing periodic bulletins and an annual report. Since January 2020 it has also tracked transfemicides and travesticides as a distinct category.
Its ten-year report (3 June 2015 - 25 May 2025) recorded 2,827 lethal victims of gender-based violence: 2,543 direct femicides of women and 284 "femicidios vinculados" (relatives or others killed alongside the intended victim) - equivalent to one femicide every 31 hours over the decade. Since 2020 it has additionally logged 41 transfemicides/travesticides.
Casa del Encuentro's director, Ada Rico, has argued publicly that official state statistics are released too late to inform real-time policy, which is why independent observatories such as this one remain the most-cited femicide data source in Argentine media. The model has also been replicated by other Argentine observatories (Observatorio Lucía Pérez, MuMaLá), though this fragmentation of independent registries - none of them state-funded - also signals the absence of a single authoritative government count, a limitation the observatory itself acknowledges.
