Argentina has been gripped by outrage after the bodies of two murdered teenage girls were discovered just two days apart, reigniting debate over the country's persistent femicide crisis. Agostina Vega, 14, was found strangled and dismembered near the city of Córdoba on 31 May, with a 33-year-old man arrested after CCTV footage placed her at his home; Dulce Candia, 17, was found in a septic tank in Eldorado, Misiones province, on 28 May, with a 47-year-old taxi driver held on suspicion of her murder. The killings came just days before the 11th annual Ni Una Menos (Not One Woman Less) anti-femicide march and have intensified criticism of President Javier Milei's far-right government, which has shuttered the ministry of women, cut support for gender-based violence survivors, and moved to remove femicide as a distinct criminal category — measures feminist campaigners warn are making it harder for victims to seek justice and easier for violent crimes to go unregistered.
