Abstract

Femicid, ubojstvo žene motivirano njezinom rodnom pripadnošću, globalni je problem koji odražava duboko ukorijenjene društvene nejednakosti. Ovaj rad istražuje stanje femicida u Hrvatskoj i Europi, analizirajući društvene čimbenike i uzroke koji potiču i održavaju ovu pojavu. Hrvatska je 2024. godine napravila važan iskorak u pravnoj zaštiti žena uvođenjem femicida kao zasebnog kaznenog djela, čime se dodatno osnažuje potreba za prevencijom i zaštitom. Kroz analizu statističkih podataka i pregled relevantne literature, rad ukazuje na povezanost femicida s obiteljskim nasiljem te ističe važnost preventivnih mjera i institucionalne podrške.

Abstract (english)

Femicide, the murder of women motivated by their gender identity, is a global problem that reflects deeply rooted social inequalities. This paper examines the state of femicide in Croatia and Europe, analyzing the social factors and causes that promote and sustain this phenomenon. In 2024, Croatia made an important step in the legal protection of women by introducing femicide as a separate criminal offense, thereby reinforcing the need for prevention and protection. Through the analysis of statistical data and a review of relevant literature, the paper highlights the connection between femicide and domestic violence, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures and institutional support.
