University of Science Malaysia psychologist and criminologist (Forensic Science Programme, School of Health Sciences) Associate Professor Dr Geshina Ayu Mat Saat said the definition of femicide is constantly changing, which is why it is hard to pinpoint what exactly constitutes femicide - and how to prevent it.

Criminologist and Psychologist Dr Geshina Ayu Mat Saat during an interview on Sinar Daily’s talkshow, Relatable titled ‘Women Who Abuse: Why?’ on Saturday.

Most efforts to understand crime have focused on male crime, since men have greater involvement in criminal behaviour, Assoc Prof Dr Geshina Ayu Mat Saat shares.

Tehmina says that the root of the problem is that women as a whole are underrepresented and often stereotyped in news media, through self-reinforcing gendered division of duties and representation in society.

Geshina said rather than blaming mental disorders for criminal behaviour, more focus should be given on the provision of timely services, evidence-based effective treatments, victim support networking and groups, social integration and acceptance into the workforce. (Photo source: 123rf)

The increasing misuse of AI features to fulfill twisted romantic and sexual fantasies is a topic of great concern for real-life women.
