A woman was killed by a partner or family member every 10 minutes in 2023, the United Nations reported on Monday, highlighting that femicides remain at “alarmingly high levels.”
Of these, around 60% — more than 51,000 — were killed by their partners or relatives, equating to 140 deaths daily or one every 10 minutes. While men comprised 80% of all murder victims last year, making them four times more likely than women to fall victim to homicide, they were typically killed by strangers.In contrast, women were most often victimized by someone they knew. Africa experienced the highest toll, with 21,700 women murdered by close associates in 2023. Europe recorded the lowest rates of femicide, with 2,300 murders, followed by Asia.
“We need to challenge and dismantle gender biases, power imbalances, and the harmful norms that fuel violence against women,” said UNODC Executive Director Ghada Waly.
