ABSTRACT

This conclusion reviews the previous chapters and considers the work that has yet to be done in moving towards a meaningful agenda for ‘Counting Femicide’. It reflects on the problems and possibilities for the establishment of a ‘Global Femicide Index’ both as an empirical undertaking as well as a political project. Importantly it emphasizes that being counted is not the same as counting. The case for counting is reiterated so long as such counts are conducted imaginatively, sensitive to their shortcomings, and always with the individuals, communities, and broader social structures that should be held to account in view.
