Feminicide of Sonia Bellina: Union of Families denounces indifference of public authorities

According to Google News FR — Crime (fr), the murder of Sonia Bellina prompted a strong reaction from the president of the Union of Families of Feminicide Victims, who denounced persistent inaction in the face of these crimes.

"Women continue to die in complete indifference," declared the head of the association, emphasising that the death of Sonia Bellina is part of a series of feminicides that do not provoke an adequate response in proportion to their gravity.

The president of the Union of Families of Feminicide Victims points to an absence of systematic support for victims and their loved ones, as well as a lack of mobilisation by institutions in the face of these lethal acts of violence.

The Bellina case illustrates, in her view, a reality that feminist associations have been denouncing for several years: that of women killed without their deaths provoking a significant collective reaction from the authorities or public opinion.
