I wash my hands of it / Me lavo las manos de eso. by JUANA VALDÉS  Image: I wash my hands of it / Me lavo las manos de eso, which uses the image of an African female sculpture to represent all women, hangs as a banner with the image of the sculpture resisting the subjugation of women all over the world. It addresses the violence being perpetrated on women worldwide. The phrase Femicide is used to define a hate crime which is broadly defined as "the intentional killing of women or girls because they are female.” The interpretation differs from country to country, but the impact on women’s life remains the same. On a daily basis, women suffer directly or indirectly from violence perpetrated in a physical, mental, or verbal form that often ends in death. From the front, one sees the image of a strong, regal woman from behind the banner listing famine words often used to describe women
