In the continuum of violence, all realities of harm and their causes have to be understood in relation to each other. As such, sexual violence and femicide are part of the weapons of war which are used by genocidal, colonial and apartheid projects, as those attempt to isolate, assimilate, harm, or destroy the very bodies that allow a people to give birth to its future generations, and seek to erase the souls which nurtures its culture and resilience.

In the light of this connection between genocide, apartheid and femicide, and to help expand your knowledge on these pressing matters, we have compiled for you a collection of articles, reports, statements and documentaries. 

You can access the resources below freely. This multi-media package is available in support of our 198th online seminar “G for genocide, A for apartheid, F for femicide” under our Of War and Collective Memory series, held on 12th June, 2021 with experts talking about Palestine, Afghanistan, Canada, Kurdistan, Mexico and Iran.
