The researchdesignisnon-experimentalwithaquantitative,descriptiveandretrospective approach. The search was carried out in information portals at the Peru level, thus nding that the INEI 2021 statistics book was the one that provided the most precise information regarding cases of femicide in Peru. In relation to the results obtained, a variation of cases of femicide during the pandemic in relation to previous years of -4% is observed.
