Argentina Court Orders Over 12 Million Pesos in Pergamino Gender‑Violence Compensation

A civil‑commercial court in Pergamino, Buenos Aires Province, issued a landmark judgment against a man accused of gender‑based violence. The court ordered him to pay more than 12 million Argentine pesos to his former partner as compensation for physical and emotional harm. In addition, the defendant must cover all psychiatric and psychological treatment expenses required by the victim, funding each consultation and therapy session.

The ruling, described as an exemplary decision for the region, aims to set a precedent that financially penalizes perpetrators and ensures victims receive full medical support, reinforcing a growing trend in Argentine jurisprudence to impose substantial civil liabilities for gender‑based offenses.
