Femicide is a specific type of homicide, under which women are killed because they are women i.e. the "fem" part relates to the motive, and only indirectly the victim's characteristics. Honour killings are a good example of this.
So this is good for feminism because it explicitly recognises and protects against crime that is driven by misogyny.
