Thirteen femicides occurred in Cyprus in the years 2019 to 2020 of which two were girls and almost all of them were committed by a current or former husband or partner, according to a report conducted in the framework of the FEM - United project, details of which were given at a press conference by the Mediterranean Institute for Gender Studies and the CERC, hosted by Frederick University.
FEM-UnitED is a two-year transnational project funded by the EU's Rights, Equality and Citizenship programme involving five European countries, Cyprus, Germany, Malta, Portugal and Spain. As part of the project and for the prevention of femicide, an information campaign "Make the Connection" is being launched on the basis of which five videos will be released.
