Femicide plot

Every eight days a woman is murdered in the Netherlands. The (former) partner is almost always the perpetrator and the woman's choice to be independent is the cause. Femicide is often portrayed in the media as a family or family drama, but it is not. Why is femicide so underexposed? Why is the animal not called by its name? And why are we warned about the man in the bushes, while women are the most at risk in their relationship? Relatives of victims of femicide share their story and also discuss the taboo attached to the term femicide, murder of women because they are women.
