The home remains the deadliest place for women, with 140 women and girls killed daily by intimate partners or family members, emphasizing the alarming prevalence of gender-based violence.
The increase in reported deaths, from an estimated 48,800 in 2022 to 51,100 in 2023, is largely attributed to better data collection methods rather than an actual rise in killings.
Africa recorded the highest number of intimate partner and family killings in 2023, reflecting a severe and pressing need to address this pervasive issue regionally.
While men and boys represent the majority of homicide victims overall, women and girls suffer a disproportionately higher rate of lethality in domestic violence situations.
