The brutal murder of 52-year-old rural teacher Nancy Godoy has shocked Argentina. The judiciary revealed in an autopsy report that her death was "extremely violent," and investigators are treating it as a femicide. Five suspects have been arrested, but the context of her murder remains unclear. Feminist organization Mumalá reported 239 femicides this year, indicating one woman is murdered every 30 hours due to gender-based violence.
Nancy Godoy's body was found 2.5 kilometers from her rural school on Wednesday, 21 days after she went missing. She had made a 21-day journey from her home in Corrientes to El Curupí, a hunting tourism ranch where she worked as a teacher and substitute principal. On October 7, she texted her son that she had made the trip safely.
Upon her arrival, she found the school in terrible condition, with no running water, functioning bathrooms, rats, and bats. She also reported that the previous teacher was absent and that the school only had eight students. She lived at the ranch for several days, sleeping there to fulfill her duties. Her sons only noticed something was wrong a week after last hearing from her, leading to a police search and the arrest of the five suspects.
