A recent study reveals that Argentina ranks third globally for the highest rates of physical and psychological violence against women, with 34% reporting such experiences in the last year.
A recent study by the WIN network and the Voices consultancy, conducted between November 2025 and February 2026 in the context of International Women’s Day (8M), sheds light on the disturbing realities faced by women in Argentina, particularly regarding violence, insecurity, and inequality. The survey included responses from 45,000 individuals across 45 countries, positioning Argentina critically in the global ranking of countries where women endure violence.
One of the most alarming findings indicates that 34% of Argentine women reported experiencing some form of physical or psychological violence in the past year. This statistic places Argentina among the countries with the highest reported levels of violence against women, where Morocco ranks first with 43% and Indonesia follows closely with 36%. The implications of these findings underscore the urgent need for effective interventions and support systems to address gender-based violence in Argentina.
The report serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that women continue to face in society, highlighting the necessity for increased awareness and preventive measures. As Argentina observes International Women’s Day, the focus on the issues of gender violence and inequality calls for greater societal commitment to combat these pervasive problems and enhance the safety and rights of women across the nation.
