Femicide in Global Perspective Edited by Diana E. H. Russell and Roberta A. Harmes (2001). Teachers College: Columbia University
A.	Femicide--the killing of females by males because they are female
B.	Chapter 4: Intimate femicide. In the United States four (4) women are killed by a male intimate partner each day.
C.	Chapter 5: Femicidal pornography. The normalization of lethal violence against women is manifested in the ubiquitous, often eroticized portrayals of males slaughtering females in slasher films, mainstream movies, TV programs, and video games. The normalization of misogynist murder is also evident in femicidal depictions of women in pornography.
D.	Chapter 6. The shroud over algeria. For most of 1992 and 1993, communiques from the Armed Islamic Group warned women not to go out in public unveiled or commit other acts deemed inappropriate (such as living alone, being a divorcee, working, etc.). Public displays of these behaviors would be met with femicidal force. Meanwhile, secular guerilla units also emerged, such as the Organization of Young free Algerians, which promised to kill 20 veiled women (or bearded men) for any unveiled woman who was murdered. Women were immediately reduced to targets for both sides . . .
E.	Chapter 8. Femicide in Southern Africa. Members of Women in Law and Development in Africa in five Southern African countries (Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) undertook a study in each country on femicide as part of preparing for the United Nations World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995. The following seven types of Femicide were documented:
	1.	Intimate femicide: Women killed by boyfriends or husbands in so-called domestic disputes.
	2.	Femicide by other family members: Femicide by male family members and in-laws who, by custom in Southern African societies, often feel that they have a right to control females.
	3.	Sexual femicide: Rape is sometimes followed by murder--either to cover up the crime or get rid of witnesses. Some rapists also desire pleasure from killing their victims.
	4.	Witch femicides: Another example of femicide is the killing of women accused of being witches, sometimes by burning, as happens in South Africa, or by stoning, as occurs in Zimbabwe. These femicides occur predominately in rural areas.
	5.	Ritualistic femicides: Some femicides appear to be ritualistic in nature, linked to a belief in the power of female sexual organs. In these cases, women are killed in order to cut out these organs. Such cases were documented in Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
	6.	Suicides by women experiencing violence: In a few cases, women's suicides qualified as femicides when there was strong evidence that they had killed themselves to escape intolerable levels of violence by their husbands or other male members of their families.
	7.	Women killed by thieves. Thieves often see women as vulnerable targets, both within their homes and on the streets. Therefore the Zambian study chose to include deaths of women who had been murdered by thieves in their femicide registers.
F.	Chapter 9. AIDS as mass femicide: Focus on South Africa: Of the many different examples of AIDS as mass femicide on of the more horrific is the belief by some males in the myth that an HIV-infected man "can cure himself of HIV if he has sex with a virgin, which only young children can be presumed to be.
