What to expect

Every 8 days a woman is murdered because she is a woman, and women daily face sexist jokes, coercive control, boundary-crossing behaviour and domestic violence.

Femicide is described as the top of a pyramid of gender-related violence that begins with ‘just a joke’.

The programme includes a panel discussion, a recitation, a short lecture and a theatre monologue.

It also asks how the lower layers contribute to extreme and deadly violence, how the pyramid can help prevent femicide, what role men have, what the signs of a dangerous relationship are, and what steps can lead to the right help.

It notes that queer people are also victims of gender-related violence; the system is the same, but the circumstances differ, and the programme focuses mainly on femicide.
