FEMALE GENOCIDE
The Need too know…
Female genocide has been a problem in Palestine for countless years and as a society, it’s time to make a change.
Femicide/Feminicide
Femicide and feminicide is the term for systematically killing women, girls, or females based solely on their sex.
The conflict has reached a breaking point and has turned into all-out warfare.
“On Oct. 7, Palestinians from Gaza carried out attacks in Israel that killed at least 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands more, and took an estimated 240 hostages. Israel immediately launched attacks on Gaza. Since then, at least 31,988 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, 70% of them women and children.”
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay (88-89)
“Essential feminism suggests anger, humor-lessness, militancy, unwavering principles, and a prescribed set of rules for how to be a proper feminist woman, or at least a proper white, heterosexual, feminist woman—hate pornography, unilaterally decry the objectification of women, don't cater to the male gaze, hate men, hate sex focus on career, don't shave. I kid, mostly, with
that last one.”

Dr. Hernandez gave a presentation to us about feminist analyzation and feminicides in the U.S. and Mexico. She also talked about how feminist news framing plays an important role in how the world frames feminicides in the media.
