Argentina Shocked by Live-Streamed Murder of Women, Girl, Leading to Protests
The brutal torture and murder of three young women in Argentina, live-streamed on social media, has sparked outrage and widespread protests. Authorities discovered the victims’ bodies buried in a Buenos Aires suburb, after they were allegedly targeted by a drug gang following a dispute over stolen drugs. Six individuals have been arrested, with investigations ongoing to locate additional suspects and determine the precise motive. Feminist organizations have highlighted these killings as another example of Argentina’s pervasive issue with gender-based violence, as demonstrated by the 164 femicides recorded in the first eight months of 2025.
