- Description
- In 2017 58 per cent of all femicide victims reported globally, were women killed by intimate partners or family members. This study provides an overview of the scope of gender-related killing of women and girls. It analyses killings perpetrated both within and outside the family sphere. It also considers the profiles of perpetrators of intimate partner killings, the link between lethal and non-lethal violence against women and the criminal justice response. The report was published on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 2018 to raise awareness, increase understanding and call for action.
