Answer :

Final answer:

Femicide is a form of violence against women rooted in societal norms and discrimination, with activists striving for justice and empowerment.


Explanation:

Femicide refers to any killings of women or girls, often occurring within a patriarchal framework. It is a form of violence against women that results from various sociopolitical norms.

One example of a contributing factor to femicide is the intersection of sexism with other forms of discrimination, such as racism or homophobia, leading to targeted violence against specific groups like Black queer women.

Activists globally are working to address the root causes of femicide, advocating for justice, empowerment, and the protection of women's rights.
