"We ask why femicide is still killing so many women. Every 10 minutes, somewhere in the world, a woman or girl is killed- most often not by a stranger, but by someone she knows. The perpetrator is usually an intimate partner or a family member. Behind this stark statistic lies a devastating reality: Femicide is not a series of isolated tragedies, but a widespread, systemic crisis.

Femicide kills a woman or girl somewhere in the world every ten minutes. Most victims are murdered not by strangers but by people they know. Perpetrators are most often intimate partners or family members. The pattern of killings reflects a widespread, systemic crisis rather than isolated incidents. The close-relationship nature of most murders highlights gendered power imbalances and the danger of intimate-partner and family violence. Preventing these deaths requires systemic responses that address underlying social norms, legal accountability, and protective measures for women and girls. Data-driven policy, survivor-centered services, and community-level prevention are critical components of effective responses.
