What is Feminicide?
In legal terminology, "homicide" means the killing of both women and men. The
term "feminicide" has entered common usage, which doesn't just denote the
killing of a woman, but specifically the killing of a woman by a man for, let's
say, passionate reasons. The term "masculicide" to denote the killing of a man
by a woman for passionate reasons hasn't entered common usage.
