On gender, diversity, and feminism
By Veronica Fantini
Imagine for one second that you are the mother of a son. If you already have one, think of your own. Your lovely boy. You raise him with all the love and affection you could possibly give him. You teach him to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. You love him, and he loves you. But he also loves another woman. Yet you believe she is not the right fit for him.
by Rosa Floris
In her 2006 conceptual artwork Cimbra Formwork, Teresa Margolles incorporates real clothes from women who were victims of gendered violence and feminicide in Ciudad Juárez. She is thereby responding to the phenomenon of feminicide, but what exactly does her artwork communicate?

Outside of Italy, it is not common knowledge that the country of food and marvellous historical monuments is grappling with a silent but deadly crisis: the alarming rise in the number of femicides.
by Giulia Ghidelli
In the past years, the phenomenon of femicide has gained increasing space in the news, together with a progressively growing awareness of systemic gender violence matters, such as the gender pay gap, the #metoo movement against sexual harassment in the entertainment world, and structural discrimination.
From vast landscapes of snow and ice to the bustling cities of Toronto and Montreal, Canada is often celebrated as a land of peace, tolerance, and respect for diversity. However, in 2004, Amnesty International accused Canada of endangering Indigenous women, putting them at continuous risk of abduction, sexual abuse and lethal violence. This is due largely to systemic racism. Add sexism to the equation and you can see that Canada has failed in protecting Indigenous women and girls.
