I believe that thanks to cooperation between science, femtech sector and justice authorities we can create reliable databases on femicide numbers in our country. This is the only way to bridge the femicide data gap.<\/p>\n
My many years of research confirmed that there is a space between femicidal violence and femicide where we can counteract the latter act. This aspect is extremely important in terms of analyzing criminal data. It means that we can find high-risk factors and implement security measures earlier that will prevent femicide from occurring.<\/p>\n
Poland can no longer remain a white spot in European and international statistics on femicide. We are obligated to gather femicide and GBV data by the article 11 of the CoE Istanbul Convention and the EU Directive on Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (2024\/1385). Therefore, following the UN’s call: Let’s name, count, and prevent femicides together!<\/p>\n

Professionally I\u2019m a lawyer, linguist, Latin Americanist, and certified Spanish translator and interpreter with license in Poland and Spain. In 2017-2018, as a scholarship holder from the University of Seville, I completed an internship at the Spanish courts for violence against women in Seville.<\/p>\n
In 2021, I worked as Project Coordinator and participated in the establishment of the Polish Observatory on Femicides, that operated at the Women’s Rights Center (link<\/a>). I also co-edited a special issue of the journal “Prawo i P\u0142e\u0107” (Law and Gender)<\/a> devoted to femicide watches around the world.<\/p>\n In 2024, I founded the Femicide in Poland project. The project is the first Polish think-tank dedicated to the phenomenon of femicides based on gender. I am the author of the first report on femicide in Poland, “Femicide in Poland. Report for 2017-2023.”<\/a> I regularly share my knowledge about femicides and the way we can start combating them at workshops, academic conferences in Poland and abroad (recently in Romania, Spain, the UK, Greece, and the US), and at international forums.<\/p>\n I have been researching femicide since 2016. Since 2017, I have been conducting criminal and criminological research on femicides in Poland and Spain. This research forms a part of my doctoral dissertation, which I wrote and submitted to the Scientific Council of the Discipline of Legal Sciences at the University of Warsaw, receiving a positive supervisor opinion in April 2025 at the Faculty of Law, University of Warsaw.<\/p>\n
