Since the rate of violence against women has increased during the COVID19-crisis, we think it is appropriate to raise even more awareness on Femicide and therefore have decided to turn June into our "End Femicide" month. As part of our Femicide Volume XIII Publication we have received several videos from experts and activists defining Femicide and stating why data collection is important. This video series can now be watched on our brand new YouTube Channel!
Our first voice is Clara Knapper Bohman, a Swedish-German researcher at Women In International Security Austria. Her video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/yAlogtCXrkY
