Murmansk feminists painted graffiti against domestic violence. The city hall painted him over

Activists of the Feminist initiative group "Bonfire" drew graffiti with an appeal to adopt a law on domestic violence. The inscription "Come when they kill" appeared in the underground crossing on Schmidt Street in Murmansk. This was reported by the Internet magazine "7x7".

According to the feminists, Street art is "an expression of their freedom and a return to their city space", and not vandalism, as many believe. So they supported the All -Russian week to counteract violence against women.

The city hall did not appreciate the self -expression of activists, the protest graffiti was already painted in the transition.

• Russia is the only one of the countries of the Council of Europe, where the law is not adopted against domestic violence. Over the past ten years, the bills on the prevention of domestic violence have been submitted to the State Duma more than 40 times, but not a single reading passed. In 2017, the Russian Criminal Code deleted the article for beatings, and for family violence introduced administrative responsibility.
• In October, it became known about the new version of the bill. It is planned to enter it to the State Duma until the end of 2019.
• On November 16, Oksana Pushkina stated that the authors of the bill on domestic violence receive threats in social networks.
• According to the Counting Dead Women Russia meter, 850 women were killed by the hands of partners or husbands in Russia for 8 months of this year.
