BUENOS AIRES, July 27 (UPI) -- Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Tuesday announced a plan to fight against "femicide" and domestic abuse directed toward women through the establishment of a network of women's refuges.
Femicide is a gender hate-crime term describing the violent and deliberate killing of a woman. The plan, which will increase funds for the electronic tracking of men known to violently target women, will begin next year.
