Today, through its social media account, the Government of Javier Milei released a video on the occasion of International Women's Day, criticizing the previous Kirchnerist administration and recalling that, during 2024, there was a notable decrease in "femicides."
Despite constant criticism from far-left feminist sectors, the libertarian administration achieved a 20% reduction in women's homicides, something that reflects the success of its tough-on-crime policy and "those who do it, pay for it."
In the video, Milei's Government recalls that previous administrations "were dedicated to making symbolic policies without anything concrete that really helps to minimize violence against women," and that "crimes against women increased instead of decreasing, reaching a record of women's homicides."
However, "in 2024, with the arrival of President Milei, the Ministry of Women was closed, and all gender areas in other ministries were eliminated, the spending on gender policies for women was reduced but instead of continuing to rise, violence decreased."
To support this claim, the libertarian Government used data from the National Ombudsman's Office, which states that women's homicides fell by 20% in 2024, breaking a years-long trend.
Additionally, it explains using a characteristic phrase from Minister Patricia Bullrich: "This is because the national State now adopts a policy of those who do it, pay for it by punishing the murderers."
