This article analyzes journalistic narratives of feminicide in the Amazon from the conceptual contribution derived from gender studies. The starting point of the research was the gathering of reports from newspapers in the states within the Amazon Region that featured in their text the words 'feminicide', 'murdered', and 'killed', and that said reports had a direct relationship with the crimes, their ramifications, investigation, trial, and conviction. The study indicated that journalistic narratives can symbolically colonize women when they construct a version of social reality anchored in the inequality between genders in Brazil. In the construction of the narratives, judgments and silencing that directly affect women emerged, which go against the range of discourses in favor of gender equality found in society, and effectively mask asymmetries in the context of the Amazon
