Opis

Worldwide, an estimated 60,000 women and girls are murdered every year for the mere fact of being women, which reflects a murder every ten minutes.In addition to the thousands of women killed and disappeared, phrases such as: If they kill me, I will take my arms out of the grave and I will be stronger or Ni una menos vivas nos queremos, are becoming more and more important in the conscience of the population; and the fact that women's lives are one of the most violated human rights in the world, are the driving force and the sense of the publication of this book.This book is aimed at victims, professionals, academics, trainers, public and private officials, members of non-governmental and civil society organizations, students, and all those interested in the subject of violence against women and femicide/feminicide.
