Abstract
Este artículo analiza estudios de casos de hombres y mujeres procesados por delitos contra la vida del Código Penal Boliviano. La problemática principal es la teoría feminista del feminicidio que algunas organizaciones feministas bolivianas utilizan, la cual establece que se trata con benevolencia a los hombres acusados de asesinar a sus parejas mujeres dándoles una sentencia mínima o nula. Se consideró el comportamiento de los acusados/as en el momento del delito y el trato que recibieron de parte del sistema judicial.
