The question remains: When do women cease being victims of gender-based violence, regardless of age? Can they find justice even in the grave? Why do their perpetrators roam freely, unaccountable for their heinous actions even when evidence has been presented?

While the new year provides a sense of renewal, the harsh reality of femicide remains. Even in the early days of January, news of women’s lives being ruthlessly cut short emerged, emphasizing the critical need to address this widespread problem. #gbv #femicide
