Violence against women occurring in the private sphere is exercised by intimate partners, ex-partners and other family members or people living with them. The presence of firearms in the home increases the risks of VAW and its lethality, since not only can they be the means of committing feminicide, but they are also facilitators of other types of gender-based violence: physical, psychological and/or sexual. However, although firearms can be used to threaten, intimidate and coerce, there is usually not enough information regarding this matter.
