According to Ten Zweege, femicide is still too often seen as a ‘private problem’, while it is actually a social issue. “As a society, we are not yet sufficiently informed about what we should look forward to and what we should do with that information.” While, according to her, femicide cases are ‘one of the most predictable murders’. “We as a society need to be more vigilant about the ‘red flags’ of femicide,” she emphasizes. “For example, when a partner uses violence against pets, threatens violence more often, uses lethal force or coercive control, the risk of femicide is high.”
