On Wednesday, 06.12. In 2023, in the premises of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zenica, as part of the campaign '16 days of activism against gender-based violence', a performance was held called Stop Femicide in BiH, in which students of the Faculty of Philosophy took part. The event was held with the support of the TPO Foundation from Sarajevo and the UNIGEM project, as well as the Zenica Center for Women's Rights, which provided part of the choreography about femicide.

Femicide is the last stage in long-term violence against women. In BiH, a kind of 'epidemic' of femicide has been going on for months, and there is no indication that the violence and murders of women will stop. The goal of this performance was to draw the attention of the social community to the way violence against women is treated in public. Also, this is a message to the competent institutions to provide more serious protection to victims of violence, as well as not to react to violence by accusing the victim and advising her that sometimes she should endure a few slaps and stay with the abuser.
