Summary
A woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner nearly every two days in Germany, with 155 such murders in 2023, according to the first-ever Federal Criminal Police Office report on gender-specific crimes.
Activists and officials are calling for stronger protections, but Germany’s anti-domestic violence law remains stalled in political negotiations.
Women’s shelters lack 14,000 spaces, forcing some victims to travel hundreds of kilometers for safety.
Funding gaps, insufficient legal protections, and high costs deter many from seeking help, perpetuating cycles of violence.
Fitting to the occasion a demonstration against violence against women was beaten up brutally be the police in Berlin yesterday evening. The demonstration was raising awareness to the violence against women in Gaza.

While the German foreign minister Baerbock claims to follow a “feminist” foreign policy, this only extends to white women.
