This poster, designed around the theme Stop Killing Women, powerfully merges art and activism. I selected a striking photo of a performance by a friend, where her body is contorted in a way that conveys distress and struggle. Overlaid with torn pages from fashion magazines, the image intensifies the message of extreme violence women face globally. The juxtaposition of beauty ideals and brutal reality creates a stark commentary on the objectification and harm inflicted on women, urging viewers to confront the pervasive violence and take action.

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.
