Ally, femicide is a grim, "under recognized" statistic. My mention of it yesterday was to bring awareness of the fact that the open gun carry with no licensing is sure to cause a significant up tick in occurrences.
I also posted Women Count a database compiled by Dana Wilcox, a nurse in Texas. Wilcox began Women Count "after the killings of Cecil the lion and Harambe the gorilla. There was such outrage over the animals’ deaths, and while Wilcox is an animal lover, she didn’t understand why there wasn’t the same level of concern for murdered women. “People are starting petitions and they’re marching and I’m like I just heard about three women killed today, what about them?”
It's sickening that people value the lives of women so little, but it's not unexpected. Not citing femicide, glossing over or ignoring the occurrences of femicide is a horrible reality and part of the misogyny baked into our daily lives. Texas's decisions on abortion and guns reflect the official position that women and girl's lives don't matter.
The work you and your associate did in the field is important. Thank you.
