Femicide

The killing of women because they are women (Diana Russell’s definition) Acts based on the shared conception of the "female" as a social null. (...) it is not a question of the murder of a female person, (...) but of a crime that finds its deepest motives in a culture that is hard to renew itself and in institutions that still reflect it at least in part. (...) (Accademia della Crusca 2013).
