Hate in two languages: Trans activists in France and Spain have been openly calling for the mass murder of women. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

FR; ES \u2014 . 2020 has seen a sharp rise in violent public threats from transgender activists aimed at women who advocate for women\u2019s human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

In France and Spain, transgender activists have been openly displaying messages calling for the mass murder of \u201cTERFs\u201d and particular groups of feminist activists, at times suggesting specific methods of execution. In Spain, the threats came to life when crowds of transgender activists violently attacked women who were peacefully demonstrating during International Women\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

France<\/h2>\n

In the summer of 2019, French FEMEN activist Marguerite Stern launched Collages Feminicides<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a movement that has French women take to the streets to create canvas art in protest of and to raise awareness about France\u2019s position as a nation with one of the highest rates of women murdered by intimate partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collages<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Paris, when I welcomed hundreds of women into my home at the very beginning of the movement, I had made it clear that I wanted us to be united, beyond our disagreements, to fight against domestic violence,\u201d the activist tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The collage movement quickly took on a life of its own<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, evolving to address issues beyond femicide that are important to women\u2019s lives, which the activist celebrated.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, on January 22, 2020, Ms Stern announced her dismay<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that the movement that she had created to advocate for women had been weaponized against women: \u201cUniversalist feminists tell me that they have been excluded from branches where activists position themselves as intersectional, and make collages on divisive subjects while using the label (to my great regret, it has become a label) \u2018collages f\u00e9minicides\u2019.\u201d (Feminist author Nathalie Heinich views universalist feminism as a counterpoint to theories of postmodernism, postcolonialism and gender studies, defining it as a call for women to put aside differences \u201cwithin the civic framework of citizenship\u201d and focus on what they have in common.)<\/span><\/p>\n
