“No viajes sola”: el doble feminicidio de mujeres argentinas en Ecuador

Abstract

In February 2016, two Argentine tourists were killed in Montanita, Ecuador. The case reverberated hardly in South America and enlarged the growing list of feminicides rate in the region. In Argentina, as part of the promoted campaign “Ni una Menos”, this double murder resulted in further discussions between feminist movements, human rights groups, media of various kinds and society in general. We propose to analyze how this topic was treated by two graphic media in particular, both of national circulation and editorial lines opposite each other: La Nacion and Pagina 12. To recognize how the discourse on the case was set up to analyze the positions intended to settle in relation to the problems and the possible social impacts due to the public opinion that spreads. We aim to generate ideas and propose possible ways forward to address the issue from a perspective of human rights and feminist.
