Stop Femicides!
Effective against killings of women* in the European Union
All over the world, 137 women are killed every day by a member of their own family or their ex-partner, simply for being women. However, the number of unreported killings of women and girls is much higher. Femicides can occur in different forms: As a result of torture by (ex-)partners, as the killing of women and girls in the name of "honor", as killings because of their sexual orientation and gender identity or as deaths in connection to sex work, female genital mutilation, organized crime, drug and human trafficking. On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25th and the meeting of EU Gender Equality Ministers, DaMigra is organizing an international round table of experts on femicides, on November 6th 2020. In the framework of the event, a common European strategy for the protection against violence and the implementation of the Istanbul Convention will be discussed.
An event as part of the project #self-determined! von DaMigra e.V. funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. An event in cooperation with the Representation of the European Commission in Germany.
