The phenomenon of female * murder (feminicide) is repeatedly projected in the public debate and through media reporting onto non- (Western) European societies and onto people with a history of refugees and migrants. Ultimately, this also leads to the crimes of white, of origin German perpetrators * are made invisible. Racist attributions are therefore a virulent part of the debate, while at the same time there is a depoliticization of women * murders: The overall social, patriarchal power relations in which the murders are carried out are hardly discussed.

This approach to the topic raises urgent questions:
Aren't women * murders a global phenomenon? What role do patriarchal structures play in relation to female * murders? How do women * in different countries fight against these structures?

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women * (November 25th), the umbrella organization of migrant women organizations (DaMigra eV) in cooperation with the Federal Association of Migrant Women invited to the event "More than jealousy and honor - women * murders as a global phenomenon?" one. Three speakers got into conversation with each other and contributed their respective expertise on feminicides in Turkey, Mexico and Germany. Then there was an open discussion.

Speakers *:

Dr. Nile Mutluer (Sociologist, Humboldt University Berlin) as a speaker on feminicides in Turkey

Paulina Trejo Mendez (Social scientist and feminist artist) as a speaker on feminicides in Mexico

More than Jealousy and Honor - Femicides as a Global Phenomenon?

Time and again, the phenomenon of femicide is being projected on non-(West) European societies as well as on refugees and persons with migration background by media reports and in public debate. This eventually leads to the invisibility of the crimes committed by white, ethnic German perpetrators. Imputation due to racism is thus a virulent part of the debate, while at the same time a depoliticization of femicide is taking place: patriarchal power relations that constitute the context in which the murders are being perpetrated are barely addressed.

This approach to the topic raises urgent questions:

Aren't femicides in fact a global phenomenon? What roles do patriarchal structures play in relation to femicide? How do women in different countries fight against these structures?

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25^th November), umbrella association of female migrant organizations (DaMigra eV) in cooperation with the Federal Association of female migrants extended an invitation to the event “More than Jealousy and Honor - Femicide as a Global Phenomenon?”. Three speakers discussed and contributed their respective expertise on femicide in Turkey, Mexico and Germany. Afterwards the participants took part in an open discussion round.

Speakers:

Dr. Nile Mutluer (sociologist, Humboldt University of Berlin) as speaker on femicide in Turkey

Paulina Trejo Mendez (social scientist and feminist artist) as speaker on femicide in Mexico

Marlene Paradeller (member of the initiative #nomore and filmmaker) as speaker on femicide in Germany
