The project seeks to shine a spotlight on the urgent need to develop and implement effective strategies for the prevention of femicide.

In January, protestors gathered in front of the police headquarters to voice their anger and frustration at the mistreatment of women in Maltese society. 

The protest had been called by women's rights activists in reaction to the police's handling of the murder investigation of 29-year-old Paulina Dembska, who was raped and killed on January 2.
