In Malta (an EU country) in 2022 a new law was introduced whereupon killing a woman started being called 'femicide' and it resulted in an aggravated form of murder. This made the life of women more important than that of men and killing a man was a lesser offence than killing a woman.

Now that 2 men have already been accused of this discriminatory crime, lawyers are challenging the constitutionality of the crime.
