The bill of House Speaker Annita Demetriou which introduces the crime of feminicide will soon be in House Plenum. The bill defines in which cases the murder of a woman is feminicide.
According to the bill that the House Legal Committee examined last week, when imposing a sentence the Court will take into consideration whether the death was the outcome of violence by a partner, torture due to misogyny, domestic violence, and so forth.
In case the death of a woman is premeditated murder it will be taken to Court as such and not as feminicide.
