Home is the most dangerous place for women, says global femicide report

1. Lol. Men are the greatest danger in the world? I never would have guessed.

   Ever wonder why women choose encountering bears over men in the forest?

   This is why.

   Domestic violence exists. Water is wet. Why is this news?

2. >The [report by UN Women](https://www.unwomen.org/en/digital-library/publications/2024/11/femicides-in-2023-global-estimates-of-intimate-partner-family-member-femicides) found 85,000 women and girls were killed intentionally by men in 2023, with 60% (51,100) of these deaths committed by someone close to the victim. The organisation said its figures showed that, globally, the most dangerous place for a woman to be was in her home, where the majority of women die at the hands of men.

   I wonder what the breakdown of partners vs fathers vs brothers is.

   Let’s see.

   >Africa is the region with the highest number of victims in aggregate terms. Moreover, Africa continues to account for the highest number of victims of intimate partner/family member femicide relative to the size of its population (2.9 victims per 100,000 in 2023). The Americas and Oceania also recorded high rates of intimate partner/family member femicide in 2023, at 1.6 and 1.5 per 100,000 respectively, while the rates were significantly lower in Asia and Europe, at 0.8 and 0.6 per 100,000 respectively.

   Damn tf is going on over there.

   >In the other three regions –Africa, Asia and Oceania – available data suggest that the majority of female victims of intimate partner/family member femicide were killed by family members (59 per cent) rather than intimate partners (41 per cent).

   Ooooh.

   Seems like pound for pound the vast majority is parents & siblings worldwide. Corporeal punishment gone deadly, “honor” killings etc.

   Pretty interesting study when you unwind the data past the headline.
