Femicide

Femicide refers to the intentional killing of women and girls because of their gender. This act often stems from deeply rooted societal attitudes that devalue women and perpetuate inequality. Femicide can occur in various forms, including domestic violence, honor killings, and human trafficking. It highlights broader issues of gender-based violence and discrimination that affect women's safety and rights. Addressing femicide requires awareness, legal protections, and societal change to prevent violence against women and promote equality.
