-> speak about it. As well as the media, too. Anja Reschke's action is an example of how it should be. March 8th is not a spring holiday for flowers. It’s a day of solidarity for women & a fight for women’s rights. Women make up approximately 49.6% of the world's population. This can vary slightly depending on source & the specific year of the data, but it's around this figure. The global population is about 8 billion, so there’s about 4 billion women in the world.

This collage* is an homage to the famous slogan from more than fifty years ago. During the uprising in May 1968 they wrote the following in the streets of Paris: « Sous les pavés, la plage ! », which translates to: «Under the cobblestones, the beach!». A shout out for freedom and liberation.

With the upcoming Women’s Day on march the eighth, the feeling of rage drives us as we speak out against all ongoing violence and murders/femicides.

* The slogan was first pasted in the streets of Paris in 2024. [CV Meta: https://www.instagram.com/collages_feminicides_paris/]

Photo description: The photo shows a wall with graffitis on the board of a river with the reflection on the water. Over a spray painted big R a feminist collage is pasted that reads: «SOUS NOS COLLAGES, LA RAGE» which translates to: «UNDERNEATH OUR COLLAGES, RAGE!»

Does this sound shocking?! In the following article [in German], comparing the numbers of these last years, they found every third murder in switzerland to be a femicide: https://daslamm.ch/maenner-toeten-frauen-und-die-schweiz-nimmt-es-hin/

For the past years the total added up to one femicide every 2 weeks. So far the news in 2025 are pointing to a doubling of this sad and grim balance: There were 8 femicides in 8 weeks. How is this possible?!

Photo description: The photo shows the pilar of a bridge with graffitis on it and a feminist collage pasting that reads: «JEDER 3. MORD IN DER SCHWEIZ EIN FEMIZID» which translates to: EVERY THIRD MURDER IN SWITZERLAND IS A FEMICIDE

With the rise of fascism all over the world – accelerated by what is currently happening in the so called US – marginalised people will be the first to suffer. Abortion and trans rights are being denied. Racist attacks are on the rise. Essential medication gets refused. Aid to war zones are cut.

The way we read this pasting: if a feminist revolution is not antifascist, it does not deserve to call itself by that name.

Photo description: The photo shows a wooden shed with trees and bushes. On the wall of the shed a feminist collage pasting that reads: «LA REVOLUTION FEMINISTE EST ANTIFASCISTE» which translates to: The feminist revolution is antifascist.

Vile: "Women often become targets by refusing forced marriages, seeking divorce or separation, being in relationships deemed inappropriate by families, or engaging in other actions seen as violating conservative values. In one case last year, a girl was killed by her brother for using a cellphone. In another, a young woman was fatally poisoned by her parents for dating."
