¿Cuántas Más? (lit. How Many More) is an online platform that seeks to make femicides visible in Bolivia and to place this problem in the public agenda of this country while generating reliable statistics on the subject. It originated in 2014 as a project of the digital newspaper La Pública (lit. The Public), however, due to a positive response from civil society, it was consolidated as an autonomous project. The platform displays specific information on cases of femicide committed in Bolivia (type of aggression, name of alleged perpetrator, age of the accused, relationship with the victim, number of children, case status, and sentencing, among others). The data generated from the investigation and systematization of information from journalistic publications, police reports and citizen requests for information are open format, that is, they can be used, reused and redistributed freely by any person. The user can follow the process of the case and contribute with more data so that the map does not leave out any victims.
