This poster serves as a potent visual protest against gender-based violence, with a specific focus on violence against women. The central element of the poster is a universally recognized stop symbol – a red octagonal stop sign. Integrated into the design is the female gender symbol, emphasizing that the core issue is violence directed towards women. The poster depicts a silhouette of a woman trapped within a cage, with a sharp knife piercing towards her. She is shown in a stance of resistance, her arms raised as she attempts to break free. With this poster design, the author aims to emphasize the immediacy, urgency, and the need for global attention to stop the harm inflicted upon women.

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.
