This volume explores in depth femicide and feminicide, bringing
together our current knowledge on this phenomenon and its
prevention. No country is free from femicide/feminicide, which
represents the tip of the iceberg in male violence against women
and girls. Therefore, it is crucial and timely to better understand
how states and their citizens are experiencing and responding to
femicide/feminicide globally. Through the work of internationally
recognised feminist and grassroots activists, researchers, and
academics from around the world, this handbook offers the first
in-depth, global examination of the growing social movement to
address femicide and feminicide. It includes the current state of
knowledge and the prevalence of femicide/feminicide and its
characteristics across countries and world regions, as well as the
social and legal responses to these killings. The contributions
contained here look at the accomplishments of the past four
decades, ongoing challenges, and current and future priorities to
identify where we need to go from here to prevent
femicide/feminicide specifically and male violence against women
and girls overall. This transnational, multidisciplinary,
cross-sectoral handbook will contribute to research, policy, and
practice globally at a time when it is needed the most. It brings a
visible, global focus to the growing concern about
femicide/feminicide, underscoring the importance of adopting a
human rights framework in working towards its prevention, in an
increasingly unstable global world for women and girls.
