This thought-provoking book conceptualizes femicide as a
multifaceted human rights violation and proposes state
responsibility for group-related risks of violence against women
and girls. In doing so, it reassesses the concept of femicide,
analysing it in view of the crime of genocide, crimes against
humanity, war crimes, as well as several facets of human rights.
Angela Hefti challenges the common definition of femicide,
extending it beyond the killing of women due to their gender to
include elements of victim blame, sexual abuse, forced marriage and
delayed investigations by authorities. Chapters address femicide in
the context of the African, Inter-American and European regional
and universal human rights systems. Case studies from Iraq, Nigeria
and Mexico provide a fundamental understanding of the
multidimensional and worldwide nature of femicide. Spanning several
key academic debates, the book incorporates underlying feminist
legal theory and approaches pertaining to the subordination of
women and girls in society, arguing that femicide should qualify as
an autonomous human rights violation. Providing an impetus for
further research on femicide, particularly on state responsibility
for crimes committed by private actors, this book will be a crucial
resource for academics in human rights and humanitarian law,
criminal law and justice. The book will also be highly valuable to
activists, practitioners, and lawyers with an interest in advancing
aspects of femicide in international human rights law.
