THIS HAS TO STOP 🛑
In the Netherlands alone, 24 women were murdered in 2024. Another 49 barely survived attempted femicide.
That’s one woman killed every 8 days.
60% of them were murdered by someone they once trusted — a current or former partner.
And this isn’t random.
Femicide follows clear warning signs:
➡️ Control
➡️ Coercion
➡️ Psychological abuse
➡️ Threats & stalking
➡️ Escalated violence after a breakup
Still, psychological violence isn’t fully criminalized in Dutch law.
Still, there’s no clear legal definition of femicide.
Still, we’re not collecting enough data to stop this from happening again.
⸻
I deal with this reality daily. And I’m tired.
But I will not stop. Not until there is more awareness, more protection, and more justice.
This is not just a women’s issue.
It’s a society issue.
