#Sheinbaum — Mexico’s first woman president, elected earlier this year, stated in her public address:

“If this can happen to the President, imagine what #women go through every day.”

Her response has ignited a countrywide reckoning over #ViolenceAgainstWomen, one of Mexico’s most urgent crises.
The nation records 10 #femicides a day, according to #UNWomenMexico and thousands more cases of #harassment many of which go #unreported.

2/3

#ClaudiaSheinbaum also forced all security & justice institutions to recognize that #gender can be a factor in a #crime. And she required every state to have a specialized prosecutor’s office for so-called #femicides, which #Mexico defines as #murders in which the authorities can prove a #woman was killed because of her gender.

#Adolescence has been quite a stunning series—in writing, in acting, in the way it was shot, and in terms of what subjects it tackled

There justifiably are claims of there being a #MaleLonelinessEpidemic and people advocating to make #Femicides its own criminal offense. Also, more people need to be aware of how dangerous #ToxicMasculinity and the #Manosphere is, especially since people underestimate that huge parts of it solely happen online

Date: 27/11/2024 Location: Bern, Ladenwand-Passerelle. November 25th was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. #Femicides are the tip of the iceberg. Unlike domestic violence, they sometimes get covered in the media here in Switzerland. Even though media coverage did improve in recent years, a femicide too often gets framed as a 'family drama' or 'tragedy'. Call it what it is, murder. The power of the media and its use of language should never be underestimated in the trivialisation of femicide. Photo description: The photo shows a wall with posters in front of a train station. A feminist collage is pasted on it and reads: «FEMINIZIDE: • F̶A̶M̶I̶L̶I̶E̶N̶D̶R̶A̶M̶A̶ • MORD» which translates to «FEMINICIDE: • F̶A̶M̶I̶L̶Y̶D̶R̶A̶M̶A̶ • MURDER» #Feminist #FeministStrike #Femicide #Feminicide #Feminizid #PatriarchyKills #Collage #FeministCollage #CollagesFeministes #Bern #Switzerland #Féminicide #MeToo #GreveFeministe #Sexism #WomanLifeFreedom #Revolution #NiUnaMenos

#Trans #women in #Colombia are being #targeted by #armed #Hategroups.

Eight #women were #murdered between February and April this year alone. “The #prosecutor’s office doesn’t even recognise a #trans-#femicide. They record all the cases as #homicides, not even #femicides, because the issue of #gender is not important to them.”
