This poster encourages the view that many men who commit acts of violence against women often learn this behaviour from their upbringing. I believe that a large factor for the reason women are still being harmed so vastly is due to the lack of education given to young boys in schools and at home. Often times, and coming from an all-girls school myself, women are constantly taught how they should act and live fearfully to protect themselves, whereas men are seemingly taught the bare minimum, or not shown at all how they should treat women. The poster highlights the importance of tackling the issue from the root rather than constantly trying to fix the outcomes.

Stop killing women


According to UN Women, 2022 was the year in which the most women were intentionally murdered to date: nearly 89,000. Of these ‘Around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members (including fathers, mothers, uncles and brothers). This means that, on average, more than 133 women or girls are killed every day by someone in their own family.’
If it’s not bad enough that femicide is increasing, the real statistic is probably much higher: ‘for roughly four in ten intentional murders of women and girls, there is not enough information to identify them as gender-related killings because of national variation in criminal justice recording and investigation practices’.
This must change. So this year, we want to ask your help in drawing attention to all forms of violence against women: for the world to stop killing women.
