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.
The victims also are primarily men.
Men vs men violence makes up more of the graph then all other pairings combined
Men are the primary victims and offenders of violence, by an incredibly large margin.
Men are twice to four times as likely to be the victim of murder
But yeah no, it’s women that for sure are the “disproportionately affected victims”
It’s a lot of bullshit, women are slightly more victims than men, maybe, in specifically domestic violence. And even then the gap is incredibly small.
Meanwhile men are substantially more likely to be the victim in every other category, and those categories dwarf domestic violence by such a huge amount.
But articles will skim over that as a non issue, and will spend paragraphs talking about how women are the real victims here
