This poster delivers a message about the deep contradiction between creation and destruction. The imagery of a man emerging from a vagina, knife in hand, is a stark representation of the violence inflicted by men on the very source of their existence—women. Scattered red female symbols on the ground emphasize the brutal irony: women give life, nurturing sons and raising families, only to face violence from those they have birthed. This artwork confronts the painful reality of femicide, making a bold statement that men, born from women, owe them respect, gratitude, and protection, not the cruelty of harm. It demands a radical shift in how society views the roles of women and men, calling for an end to this vicious cycle of violence. Through this stark, unsettling imagery, the poster insists that the bond of life should be sacred, not shattered by brutality.

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.
