More than 5,000 people saw the performance "Women's Graveyard", which we performed in Obrenovićeva Street in Niš, on the occasion of two more femicides that happened in the span of just eight days.
Various informative pamphlets that talk about femicide, contain the wheel of violence and provide information on SOS phone numbers for women and children victims of violence were distributed to fellow citizens.
During this year, 27 girls and women were killed in Serbia by their fathers, husbands, partners, brothers, grandsons, brothers-in-law, and the youngest victim of femicide was only 2 years old.
In Serbia, one woman is killed every 10 days.
FEMICIDE is the murder of a woman simply because she is a woman. It is associated with discrimination against women, unequal distribution of power between men and women, prejudice and violence against women.
Let's stop the pandemic of violence against girls/women! RECOGNIZE VIOLENCE AND RESPOND!
The performance was supported by the Global Fund for Women.
