* Women's homicide rate (*)

The indicator calculates the intentional violent deaths against women. It considers the number of deaths of females per 100,000 inhabitants (of that demographic group) and includes deaths due to intentional aggression of others, using any means to cause damage, injury or death of the victim.

This indicator is created from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) from the Ministry of Health on “external causes of morbidity and mortality” and results from the sum of the subcategories of assault (X85 to Y09). The deaths of women are accounted by the sum of these categories per 100,000 inhabitants (of that demographic group). Among deaths due to external causes for assault it been found death caused by firearms, drill blunt object, drowning, and burns, among others.

For the record of spatial location of death, the place of residence has been used because it is considered closer to where the violence was provoked. We know that in some cases the incident differs from the place of the death, as is the case with individuals taken to hospitals located in other cities.
