your front-door key <\/strong>gripped tightly in your hand, the nervous unease that comes with being out alone at night. We reach for the phone if a man seems suspicious, or deliberately take the train to avoid a potential danger. For many women, feeling safe in everyday life is anything but a given. This constant vigilance, this sense of insecurity and threat that stays with women even in everyday situations, is a permanent part of their lives \u2013 lives repeatedly overshadowed by the question of how safe they really are. But what does it mean when we can\u2019t even protect ourselves from patriarchal structures and violence within our own four walls?<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koerperverletzung.com\/femizid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Femicides \u2013 the killing of women because of their gender<\/a>. The figures speak for themselves: despite all efforts towards equality and the protection of women, recent years show that gender-based violence is alarmingly present in our society. In 2023, 938 women and girls in Germany were victims of attempted or completed homicides, an increase of 1 per cent on the previous year. Femicide is a particularly serious form of violence, closely linked to unequal power relations between the sexes. It reflects male dominance and often serves to assert or regain a position of superiority. That\u2019s why most of these killings are linked to intimate partner violence: around 80.6 per cent of the female victims were killed by a current or former partner.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-color-2-background-color has-background has-spacing--none\">    <figure class=\"block-photo post__image--wide-left has-spacing--l with-title\">\n\n        <div class=\"post__image__container\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \n                src=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-1050x700.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-1050x700.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Selma_vonHennigs_Femicide-6-150x100.jpg 150w\"\n                width=\"1050\" \n                height=\"700\"\n                alt=\"The picture shows a dark night-time scene.

This violence is not an isolated phenomenon but a reflection of a patriarchal culture that sees women as worth less and restricts their lives and their rights. The men who commit violence against women are often the product of a toxic masculinity that grows up in a society shaped by power dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--none wp-block-paragraph\">There is an urgent need to question these structures and create a culture of equality and respect. Women\u2019s physical, emotional and social integrity must be protected. This requires consistent legal measures, but also a shift in public awareness that holds us as a society responsible for ending this violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-color-6-background-color has-background has-spacing--m\">\n<div class=\"tableau has-spacing--m\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"tableau__column--left\">\n    \n\n    <div class=\"headline-block has-spacing--m\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"post__headline\">Help and advice for people affected by violence<\/h2>\n\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"tableau__column--right\">\n    \n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--default wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hilfetelefon.de\">Violence against Women<\/a> helpline (Hilfetelefon \u2018Gewalt gegen Frauen\u2019) is a nationwide advice service for FLINTA* people who have experienced or are experiencing violence.
