Intersectionality - one of the few terms [for now] that has not been taken over and thrown back at us as an insult. The most vulnerable people are affected by a multitude of discriminations. When a group of so called 'radical feminists' exclude Sex Workers [SWERF] or Transpeople [TERF] it also feels like a takeover of the term: feminism.

Zapatos Rojos
Red Shoes

#ZapatosRojos or #RedShoes is an art project realized by the Mexican artist #ElinaChauvet. It deals with a city route which consists in lots of pairs of red or red-painted shoes to commemorate the many cases of #ViolenceAgainstWomen in the whole world. In particular, her first work was realized in #CiudadJuarez, the border city between #Mexico and the #UnitedStates, where for the first time it was used the expression “ #femicide ”.

The Slogan: Macht aus dem Staat Gurkensalat (in its orginal Swiss German version: Machet usem Staat Gurkesalat) [Turn the state into cucumber salad] from the 80ies is transformed into a feminist message: Macht aus dem Patriarchat Gurkensalat [Turn the patriarchy into cucumber salad].

Patriarchy is still one of the fundamental structural problems in our societies. It remains the breeding ground for sexist thinking and the blueprint for power from the top down. We have not managed to smash it, yet already we see this massive anti-feminist backlash from without – and within like from the tiktoked hipsterification of tradwifes or TERFs or many other forms of "enemy feminisms" > Sophie Lewis newest book: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2440-enemy-feminisms

Eén op de vijf vrouwen in de grote steden moet haar smoel houden. Eén op de vijf vrouwen is een bewust onzichtbaar gemaakte vrouw. Een moeder, zus of tante die geen vriendinnen mag hebben. Vrouwen die niet op een mooie lentedag likkend aan een ijsje door de Rotterdamse koopgoot mogen lopen of langs de Haagsche Hofvijver. Eén op de vijf vrouwen mag niet werken
Ze moet gewoon haar bek houden.

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. [CW 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.

How 2024 Became the Deadliest Year for Women in Kenya.

'Husbands still lead as perpetrators, and there’s an almost 75% percent chance that a woman will be killed by someone that she knows; a family member, friend or intimate partner.'

Women and girls being killed by men and boys remains rampant in Kenya.
