Femicide in Ecuador is one of the cruelest manifestations of power exercised over women. Actions have been executed, but they are still insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to study the factors that cause its high level of incidence. By doing so, we intend to provide the government with a tool that makes it possible to focus some measures in order to reduce and/or eradicate it. The objective of this research is to analyze these factors through neutrosophic cognitive maps. This technique is chosen because of the advantages it offers compared to other soft-computing techniques, in terms of interpretability, scalability, aggregation of knowledge, dynamism and its ability to represent feed-back and indeterminacy relationships. This way, decision-making by the government will be facilitated by hierarchizing the incidence factors, launching new strategies to eradicate femicide and to protect the right to life.
