Women around the world are killed because they are women. Femicide is the most extreme form of gender-based violence, yet it is often overlooked in public debate and in official statistics.
As part of Orange Days, Femicide Watch Denmark, Global Gender Studies at Aalborg University and UNYA invite you to an evening on femicide, from its history worldwide to the situation in Denmark. The talk looks at how femicide is defined and divided into subtypes, and which structural inequalities still put women at risk today.
The evening also offers two spaces for reflection, one for creative expression and one for writing. You can draw, write, do both, or simply reflect. There are small-group discussions based on prepared questions, but taking part is entirely optional and there is no right or wrong way to join in.
