When something is, tragically, repeated frequently, one cannot speak of a chance event.
We must immediately identify the problem and pave the way for solutions.
Femicide and gender-based violence constitute a criminal violation of human rights.
There are unfortunately many such cases in our country that cause alarm and underline the need for immediate measures and care. That is because femicide is multi-faceted and cannot be explained by a single interpretation.
The discussion of the issue in the European Parliament yesterday highlighted many facets. Firstly, it is important to agree upon the term and not facilitate relativism in judging the crime. It is a singular, heinous crime with social roots and causes.
