Femicide is a worldwide pandemic that can and must be addressed on a global scale. Thus, transnational law — which regulates events that transcend national frontiers — constitutes a valuable tool in the advancement of case law on femicide. This chapter examines international and domestic courts’ interaction through the interpretation and enforcement of international human rights law, including soft law instruments, in the making of landmark femicide cases in Latin America.

The chapter looks at femicide in Russia based on the work of the independent collective femicid.net. Since 2019, the members of the collective have operated a database where information on femicide cases, committed in Russia from 2018 onwards, is collected. The information is based on the reports from various news media, and the websites of both the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor's Office.
