Femicide Volume 9: Femicide, State Accountability and Punishment | ACUNS Vienna
May 1, 2018 — Studies, Analyses, Reports
This volume of our Femicide publication series deals with state and international responsibility.
We all have a national and international obligation to put an end to such atrocities, to prosecute offenders and to lift up the many victims’ shattered lives. Governments can and must provide “safe places” for at-risk women and children. As a physician, I am acutely focused on the compelling need for medical treatment, counselling and education. And ultimately, there must be a viable plan for providing women with the possibility of economic self-sufficiency, which in turn can assure independence and the chance of a better future.
