Recent decades of neoliberal rule have seen authoritarian turns in many governments, and these decades have also been marked by increasing violence against women. The systematic killing of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, has given way to a violent surge that is worldwide in its scope, concentrated in places where the state's traditional, sovereign functions have broken down.Femicide is no longer just an intimate event: it has become anonymous and systematic, a crime of power.An intensified form of capitalism, the product of a colonial modernity that is still with us, now fuels new wars on women, which destroy society while targeting women's bodies.

According to Segato, it is only by revitalizing community and repoliticizing domestic space that we canredirect history towards a different destin
