Zapatos Rojos
Red Shoes
#ZapatosRojos or #RedShoes is an art project realized by the Mexican artist #ElinaChauvet. It deals with a city route which consists in lots of pairs of red or red-painted shoes to commemorate the many cases of #ViolenceAgainstWomen in the whole world. In particular, her first work was realized in #CiudadJuarez, the border city between #Mexico and the #UnitedStates, where for the first time it was used the expression “ #femicide ”.
Our lives aren't sad stories to pity, they're powerful tales of resistance and empowerment, and it's time we rose up. Let's do it together. #SheMatters #femicide #violenceagainstwomen #domesticviolenceawareness #maleviolence
14 women - so far. Last year, it was 102 women. That's why, tomorrow, thousands will be gathering in cities across the country to commemorate the lives of women killed in Australia's ongoing femicide epidemic. #SheMatters #femicide #violenceagainstwomen #domesticviolenceawareness #maleviolence

She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around & uses women for his own power & ego. You are that man (& have been for years) & as your mother, it pains me & embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”

And in case you missed this tidbit from Nov 2024:
#PeteHegseth’s MOTHER Accused Her Son of Mistreating #Women for Years
Penelope Hegseth made the accusation in an email to her son in 2018, amid his contentious divorce.
“On behalf of all the women (& I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help & take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote, stating that she still loved him.

An ex-sister-in-law of #PeteHegseth’s submitted a sworn statement to senators on Tuesday that accused #Hegseth, #Trump’s nominee for secretary of #defense, of being so “abusive” toward his second wife that she once hid in a closet from him & had a safe word to call for help if she needed to get away from him.

Acid attacks on Indonesian women prompt calls to tighten chemical sales
Indonesia's National Commission on #ViolenceAgainstWomen chairperson Andy Yentriyani said acid attacks could be "very gendered acts" and had often been used as a form of "retaliation" when relationships ended. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-13/acid-attacks-on-women-in-indonesia/104794954
