Femicide Dashboard Update in Puerto Rico

The Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics has updated the dashboard of the Femicide Statistics Compilation and Management System. This dashboard presents data on femicides and transfemicides that have occurred in Puerto Rico since 2021.

It is now possible to view all recorded cases of femicides through 2025. From 2021 to 2025, a total of 116 femicides were recorded.

New variables have been added to the dashboard to enhance analysis. These include the victim’s employment status, the existence of protection orders, the relationship between the victim and the suspect, and cases of homicide followed by suicide. Additional variables were also incorporated to analyze the time and location of these incidents, including victims by month and day of the week. Furthermore, a map of Puerto Rico is included to show the distribution of cases by police regions.

Additionally, an informational infographic was published, presenting a summary of femicides from 2021 to 2024. This infographic displays data across different variables and includes simple explanations to facilitate understanding.

You may access the dashboard to view the data, definitions, and infographics from the Femicide Statistics Compilation and Management System at the following link: Femicide Statistics Compilation Management System
