"About 50,000 women and girls were killed by intimate partners or family members last year, according to a report released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the UN Women to mark the day. That is 60 percent of all women killed globally that year. By comparison, 11 percent of male murder victims were killed by someone close to them."
"Femicide continues to claim the lives of tens of thousands of women and girls each year, with no signs of improvement. The home remains the most dangerous place for women and girls in terms of the risk of homicide, the study concluded. The report also highlighted how technological developments have exacerbated certain types of violence against women and girls and created new forms, including nonconsensual image sharing, doxxing, and deepfake videos."
