The nationwide study is the first of its kind by the institutions, and it comes amid criticism that the efforts to contain femicide rates are not enough.
On Thursday, the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta, told local media outlets that "these measures alone are not enough" and remarked that "if there is no control of these measures, the measure does not make any sense."
