Summary
A U.N. report shows that 140 women and girls were killed daily by intimate partners or family members in 2023, totaling 51,100 victims, an increase of 2,300 from 2022.
The rise reflects improved data collection rather than an increase in violence.
The highest rates were in Africa, with 2.9 victims per 100,000 people.
Despite global prevention efforts, these killings, often the result of ongoing gender-based violence, persist at alarming levels.
The report emphasizes the preventability of such violence through timely and effective interventions.
It’s very related, and the answer is found in the same report. Another commenter answered tho.
It’s not unusual to have sideline discussions in a comment thread.
