The global femicide report revealed that 60% of the 85,000 women and girls murdered in 2023 were killed by intimate partners or family members, highlighting the home as a dangerous environment.
Africa reported the highest incidence of femicide, with 21,700 women and girls killed by intimate partners in 2023, emphasizing that gender-based violence is a global issue.
Despite men representing the majority of homicide victims, women are disproportionately affected by lethal violence in domestic settings, where intimate partner violence is prevalent.
The report underscores that the intentional killing of women predominantly occurs in private spheres in Europe and the Americas, contrasting with male homicide rates that often take place outside families.
