[quote=Anonymous]I have sadly noticed a big rise in reporting of femicides by male partners in recent years. I wondered whether this was due to increased reporting or increased violence against female partners and sadly it appears to be the latter. And not just the US but around the world.

The number of women and girls killed by a loved one has increased, a new United Nations (UN) report shows.

Last year, 51,100 women or girls were killed by family members or intimate partners, up from 48,800 in 2022, according to the report from UN Women, the UN body dedicated to gender equality, which was released on Monday, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The 2023 figure equates to 140 women or girls dying each day at the hands of a partner or close relative, which means one woman or girl was killed every 10 minutes.

Femicide is prevalent in the U.S.

In the United States, femicide — the gender-based killing of women — is often thought of as an issue affecting low-income countries. This could not be further from the truth; a study on female homicide victimization among 25 populous high-income countries found that 70% of all cases occurred in the U.S.

To put that into perspective, on a global scale, the U.S. ranks 34th for intentional female homicides at a rate of 2.6 killings per 100,000 women.
