Femicide / Feminicide: Used as a term for killing a woman or girl simply for being a woman. Recently, this term has been used not only for murder/manslaughter but often also to describe a hate crime against women. Consider stalking by a (former) partner or family member, but also sexual abuse or human trafficking cases. The term femicide is becoming increasingly broader. In fact, you can talk about crimes against women simply because they are women.
Welcome to Project FEMMYcide
A project that was created after the gruesome and very violent murder of my life partner Emmy on July 31, 2020. From this day on, all the misery started. It is very difficult when you suddenly lose someone you love and adore so much. That you will never see, hear, smell or message that person again. That the future you envisioned suddenly no longer exists. It becomes even worse when someone else makes the choice to end that person's life. That your loved one experienced a lot of fear, pain and sadness in the last minutes and seconds of his or her life. To have your life ended in a horrible way by someone you trusted and cared about. Emmy was killed in a very gruesome manner and with very brutal violence. Emmy had 12 stab wounds, 18 lacerations and her throat was slit from ear to ear and down to her spine.
Emmy had 2 bachelor's degrees in Psychology and was almost finished with her Master's degree in Forensic Criminology. She was never allowed to complete her master's degree. Emmy wanted to pursue a Masters in Clinical Psychology. And then continued as a Mental Health Psychologist. Through her employer Middin, (where she worked for more than ten years with people with acquired brain injuries), she was able to do an internal internship. She was very proud of that. She loved her work and her clients.
Her most precious possession taken in a few minutes and multiple lives completely destroyed by one person. The loss of my partner and my very best friend has left a significant trauma. I can't get rid of the image of my severely mutilated partner during the farewell. Fortunately, we were able to see her again and say goodbye. She lay in state in the most beautiful dress she owned. Her future black/purple wedding dress. She should have worn that dress on the most beautiful day of her, of our lives. Not before her farewell. Her father should have had the option to give away his only daughter to her future husband. Did Emmy have the right to be a wonderful mother to our future daughter Elizabetha.
In most cases, the perpetrator of femicide is the (ex) partner or a family member. For convenience, we can say that the perpetrator is often known to the victim. This is also the case with Emmy. And yet, despite the fact that the surviving relatives know the suspect and the victim best, they are not legally parties to the proceedings. They are not allowed and cannot submit research requests. Only the suspect can do this through his counsel or wife or the Public Prosecutor at first instance (court) or the Advocate General on appeal (court of appeal).
When you are on this side of the law, you notice that so many things are wrong. That our policymakers and legislators have not thought it through properly. What you simply don't expect from a country like the Netherlands. Of course, what is mentioned here is only part of the issues that need to be addressed. Things that we want to address and change as much as possible. It is time that not only suspects and perpetrators have a voice, but victims and surviving relatives also have a voice and are heard. But above all, that victims and surviving relatives are treated better than is currently the case and that more is done to prevent victims.
You often hear that various authorities are already aware of, for example, stalking by a (ex) partner or violence against the victim. There is often not a good response or matters are not registered properly. Various agencies work at cross purposes. If you look at recent cases, there have often been reports that were not responded to properly. What if this was done now? Would the outcome be different? Femicide is not something from a certain culture. It happens to everyone regardless of color, religion, beliefs, age, etc.

Support the FEMMYcide project with a donation so that we can make the project even bigger. Share our project in your network or wherever you can. In addition to being a donor, become an ambassador and help us achieve more rights and change for (future) victims, surviving relatives and loved ones. Pay more attention to your fellow man, do you suspect something, do you perhaps know something about a case? please report this immediately!! Thank you for your support on behalf of all (future) victims, relatives and loved ones.
Would you like to help me draw as much attention to the project as possible? By supporting the project and sharing as much as possible in your network and in groups on social media. For the project we are looking for donors who want to make a donation to keep the project affordable and portable.
We are looking for ambassadors who will stand together and fight for justice and adjustment within the EU, the State, the government, the judiciary, the Justice Department and the Public Prosecution Service, the police and criminal investigation department, institutions and also among the people themselves.Â
Let us work together to ensure that victims retain their voice and name and do not become case numbers. My Emmy is Emmy Johanna Francina Kroon and not Delta-20 as the file is called. It is time that in the judiciary we not only give our loved ones a voice in the right to speak, but also a face!
By setting up the project and ensuring changes and adjustments in legislation and regulations, the death of Emmy and the deaths of many others was not in vain.Â
💜For you, my wife, my very best friend, my Queen💜
What are things that I have experienced from the court hearing? What have I experienced with other relatives? What needs to be adjusted in the current system? What can or should be changed or adjusted?
Better (interim) care and aftercare for victims, surviving relatives and loved ones
Better approach to stalking. (no declaration can be filed or often nothing is done with a declaration).
Cleaning up a crime scene is NOT the responsibility of surviving relatives. These are not supposed to be scrubbing their loved one's blood off the walls or floors. Relatives are having a hard enough time dealing with the loss and the lawsuit.
Victims, surviving relatives and witnesses also have rights or should be given more rights.
Surviving relatives and witnesses should have the right to privacy, just like a suspect/perpetrator has.
Should relatives and victims have the right to express research wishes and submit them in an investigation? Especially because they often know both the victims and the perpetrators. It also contributes to answering many questions that relatives have. A suspect/perpetrator often already knows the answers.
Should brothers and sisters be entitled to affection damages because they have simply lost a loved one, just like parents and a partner, and should the amount of affection damages be increased considerably? (now max. €20,000 to minimum €100,000). Such amounts are no longer sufficient and no longer sufficiently deter suspects/perpetrators.
Affection damage should not be reduced for various reasons, such as whether the victim lives at home or not.
Should there be an end to discrimination in criminal law? The life of a cleaner must weigh the same as the life of, for example, Peter. R. de Vries or lawyer from Wiersum. Murder is murder!
Suspects can refuse access to their psychological file. Even the Pieter Baan Center will not have access to these file documents. I wonder to what extent the Pieter Baan Center can conduct a thorough investigation. In a criminal case, even if a suspect does not give permission, the Pieter Baan Center should have access to this file. Only then can a good and thorough investigation take place. It is fine that this information does not end up in the criminal file. If a suspect refuses, an investigation does not have to take place at the Pieter Baan Center. In that case, no account is taken of mitigating means such as (partially/completely) insanity.
Better legislation and regulations from the EU, the State, government, Public Prosecution Service, Judiciary, police and existing authorities.
Better file creation by police, criminal investigation department and Public Prosecution Service. There were many errors in the files I saw.
More money and staff for more thorough research. Do not leave cases behind because it costs money and there is sufficient evidence against a suspect. Every connection point must be investigated. This is carried out for famous people and high-ranking people in a certain field. This should be the same for everyone.
Suspects are entitled to a reduced sentence if it takes too long for a case to be substantively dealt with. This only looks at the suspects/perpetrator. The fact that the victim and relatives have to go through hell for longer is not taken into account. If an offender is stalling for too much time, time must be added.
A murderer should not return to the victim's hometown after a prison sentence. Preferably as far away from the crime scene as possible and with an area ban to the location and a certain radius of the crime scene. This is not only to protect relatives and acquaintances of the victim, but also for the suspect himself.
A suspect does not have to be present at the substantive hearing. While surviving relatives have the right to exercise the right to speak. To look at the suspect, speak and tell them what his action has done to them. In this way, this right is taken from the surviving relatives. That should not be the intention.
Agencies must be better organized. How often do you hear that authorities were aware of the danger of a person. Or is a suspect or perpetrator already in the sight of the police and the judiciary. Yet nothing is done until a fatality occurs or is regrettable. Many things could have been prevented.
It is logical that people increasingly choose to be their own judge because there is no longer or less confidence in the current legal process and the administration of justice. The penalties in the code are high in themselves, but the final sentence or sentence imposed is often far too short. Especially for the ordinary citizen.
Signature actions for changes in legislation and regulations
Petition for affection damages for (step)brothers and (step)sistersÂ
