About a thousand people run a march against femicide on Sunday afternoon through the streets of Rotterdam. A man was arrested at the beginning of the afternoon because he stormed the stage when a relative gave a speech, the police confirm to NU.nl.
According to a reporter from the ANP news agency, the man called something about polarization, but he did not seem to have a coherent story. The police quickly removed the potentially confused man from the stage on the Schouwburgplein.
The man interrupted the speech of Wim Hertgers. His 31-year-old daughter Sanne was murdered by her husband in October 2023 because she wanted to divorce him.
The protest march against femicide in Rotterdam is organized by the Feminist Group Dolle Mina’s. According to ANP , at least a thousand people have been walking with it since 1.30 pm. There are texts like “not all men, but always a man” on signs. Around 2.50 pm the crowd arrived at Schouwburgplein, where the second part of the stage program is busy.
The protest is a reaction to the death of two women in a week in July. It is a 38-year-old woman from Vlijmen, who was probably killed by her friend, and a 39-year-old woman from Gouda. The suspect was her ex-partner, who died shortly after the incident himself.
Femicid or women’s murder is deliberately killing women (or girls) because they are women, the OM reports. But that immediately makes it a difficult definition, because how do you prove that? Some experts and authorities call every murder of a woman femicide, others only do that if an (former) partner is the perpetrator.
According to professor Marieke Liem of Leiden University, this concerns an average of forty murders of women a year. She can know, because she keeps track of those figures for the femicide monitor. On the website it is once again emphasized that not every murder of a woman has to be femicide. “There are also things where the incident had nothing to do with gender.” But until there is a good scientific way to make this distinction, the monitor keeps track of all the murders of women.
