Every two weeks, a woman is killed by a man in this country. Why, despite this, are femicides only partially perceived as such in society? Why are it usually husbands, partners, and ex-boyfriends who kill "their" partners? What does this mean for women who have survived an attempted femicide? I explored these questions in my research.
