The head of State assured, “the Police must be the one that fights the most against femicides. We know that the clarification of these outrageous cases also depends on the Public Prosecutor’s Office and Justice, but the Police must be a decisive factor in the fight against femicide.”
Arce informed that during the current year, 43 cases had been reported across the country, of which the police force had solved 40, a figure that represents 93% effectiveness, in addition to arresting 54 people involved.
Most of these crimes against women occurred in the departments of Santa Cruz, La Paz, Cochabamba and Potosi, in decreasing order.
