femicide: a problem for society as a whole

The term "femicide" describes the killing of a woman due to her gender and is often motivated by hierarchical gender relationships. The dimension of violence against women is complex and shows itself in different forms such as physical and psychological violence. In 2023, according to the BKA, 155 women in Germany were killed by their (ex) partner. The [Federal Center for Political Education] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/gender-diversitaet/femizide-und-gewalt- against-frauen/) indicates that there is no uniform definition of the female, which makes it difficult to pursue such acts.

The shocking act on Rahma A. shows the urgent need for preventive measures and a broader social discussion about violence against women. In the period from 2022 to 2023 alone, the numbers rose dramatically, and it is time that both individuals and institutions deal with this problem.

The Algerian message has already ordered the transfer of Rahmas Leichnam to Oran for her burial. After all, it can only be hoped that the tragic case of Rahma A. serves as an impetus for profound changes in society.
