"X", as the core element of the poster, serves as both a symbol of prohibition and a symbol of killing, with its dual meanings giving the poster profound connotations. Through the ingenious arrangement and combination of these "X"s in a dot matrix form, they together constitute the image of a victimized woman, strongly conveying the protest and condemnation against violence and harm directed towards women. Is it to choose to prohibit the persecution of women, or to indulge in criminal negligence? This decision is in your hands!

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.
