"Bosnian Protesters Rally Against Online Violence After Shocking Instagram Murder"
Thousands of Bosnians protested in several cities demanding action against violence towards women after a man livestreamed the killing of his ex-wife on Instagram. Protesters called for increased protection for women, control of violent media content, and better police response to violence. The incident sparked outrage as the victim had previously reported harassment and violence to authorities, and the shooter had a criminal record. The UN condemned the femicide and called for legal changes to ensure strict punishment for violence against women. Violence against women is prevalent in the Balkans, where conservative and male-dominated societies still grapple with the aftermath of the 1990s conflicts.
