A coffin with the symbol of Venus, the symbol of femininity and women, is covered in blood spatter. The red color is ambiguous. On the one hand, it reinforces the symbolism, on the other hand, the symbols are crossed out as a sign that enough is enough! Every woman murdered is too many.

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’.
