Femicide is the lethal killing of women and girls because of their gender. Until now, femicide has been included in the category 'homicide', but many women are murdered because they are women.

In an attempt to combat the phenomenon, the COST (Cooperation on Science and Technology) attached to the European Union funded a four-year project on "Femicide across Europe." This book brings together the findings of this project in which 80 representatives from 30 countries in Europe joined together to combat femicide and chart the significant progress which has been made.
