In this insightful conversation, economist Caio Huck Spirandelli interviews Dr. Alice Evans, a social scientist at King’s College London, to explore the complex roots of femicide and gender violence in the region. They discuss how factors like inequality, weak state capacity, patriarchal norms, media influence, and general violence intertwine to create this paradox. Drawing on comparative research, Dr. Evans explains why Latin America remains an outlier in femicide rates despite cultural shifts toward gender equality. If you’re interested in understanding the deeper causes of violence against women — beyond simple explanations — this interview offers a thought-provoking analysis.
