How do we prevent femicide?
Don’t control her.
Don’t follow her.
Don’t threaten her.

She was at the post office
In her room
She took a walk,
Went for a jog
She was with friends
With her boyfriend
Her husband
Her brother

On a date
With her mace
and live location
She existed
And that alone was her crime
