In support of the 2021 Orange the World Campaign, the BKMC launched a video trilogy spotlighting anti-femicide movements from different parts of the world.
Femicide is the most extreme expression of violence against women and is defined as the intentional murder of women because they are women.
As the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence continues to be overshadowed by COVID-19, a simultaneous pandemic of femicide has been highlighted by UN experts.
Movements around the world, calling for an end to femicide, have demonstrated the power that lies within the youth to effectively organize and call for change.
The BKMC collaborated with three inspiring activists, who all have made their mark by tackling femicide across the world.
#NiUnaMenos – Liliana Oropeza, Bolivia
#Challenge Accepted – Zeycan Rochelle Yildirim, Turkey
