## Resource

A live discussion exploring the structural roots of femicide and digital violence in Austria. The panel examines how systemic misogyny, media framing, and legal loopholes enable patterns of violence that escalate from online harassment to physical murder.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Femicide is the extreme end of a spectrum that begins with control, devaluation, and digital harassment
- Failure mode: Inconsistent police reporting and the lack of specific legal definitions for gender-based violence hinder effective prosecution
- Media critique: Sensationalist headlines like 'crime of passion' mask the structural reality of targeted violence against women
- Practical takeaway: Using the 'Buddy System'—sharing access to digital accounts with a trusted person—can help document and mitigate online abuse
- Societal issue: The 'hierarchy of brutality' in media coverage often prioritizes public attacks over the more common, private domestic murders
