A powerful protest in Bucharest has brought attention to the growing femicide crisis, as rows of red shoes were placed on the steps of the Romanian Athenaeum to honour women killed by domestic violence. According to recent estimates, at least one woman is being killed every week in Romania due to domestic violence in 2026. Activists say the protest is not just about remembrance, but also a call for urgent action, stronger laws, and better protection for victims.
