More guns! Guns are always the solution.
I don’t speak German so I cannot really talk about what they say other than the summary of the article, but there is one very important thing about Spain.
For the past 30 years, ever since a woman went on a TV talk show to say calmly that she was sure her husband would kill him and there was nothing nobody would do just to end up burnt a few weeks later, people have been very aware of this problem. There are government departments at all levels (local, provincial and national) dedicated to stopping this and this is national news every week.
Yet despite all this the number of feminicides has decreased only 10% in the last 20 years.
So, saying as the text says, something like “in Spain they track the position of the aggressors” as if that would change anything is laughable. This is, unfortunately, an extremely complex problem with very very very difficult solutions.
A few things to clarify:
1: « feminicide » is a misused word. In 99% of cases, it should be « conjugal homicide ». These women weren’t killed because they were women, but because they were in a relationship (past or present).
2: in 2024, 19 people died of conjugal violence in Switzerland. 17 women and 2 men. So it is not purely man-on-woman murders happening.
3: foreign men are overrepresented among the murderers. In 2019, they commited 61% of the conjugal homicides while only being 25% of the total population.
Domestic violence is a very serious issue, but thing won’t improve if we keep not facing facts because of our ideology.

Femicide would be murder BECAUSE the victim was a woman.
Not every murder against a woman is a femicide.
Murders against women are mostly domestic violence.
Men are murdered much more often than women. The overwhelming majority of murder victims are men.
A point to think:
Above 60% of all Murders against women are committed by foreigners while being 25% of the population.
This means we could fight that form of crime by better educating the foreign citizens and set higher expectations for assimilation!
Make it stronger clear that we will not accept parallel-culture or subcultures and make action to make immigrants assimilate better and assume our own cultural values better.
That includes the attitude towards women, respectful behaviour and non-violent conflict-solving.
This seems like the single point of action that would yield the most effect.
Not just Integration – assimilation
