Lockdown violence blamed on 'misogyny'.
In 2022, Israel saw the rate of femicide increase by 50 percent from the year before, according to the Israel Observatory on Femicide (IOF).
Because they're women?
Founder of the IOF and Hebrew University Professor Shalva Weil says femicide is defined as “the intentional killing of women because they are female.”
Weil does not explain why she assumes women killed by their partners were killed "because they are female,” as opposed to being killed for reasons unrelated to gender. Men make up one third of homicide victims committed by intimate partners globally (p.11). Weil does not say whether she considers those men to have been killed because they are men.
