"This is a war against women," says Kalliopi Mingeirou, chief of the ending violence against women section at U.N. Women.
She is talking about a new report that estimates 85,000 cases of femicide in 2023 — instances where a woman is targeted because of her gender, either killed by an intimate partner, a close relative, a rapist or a stranger who is randomly assaulting females.
The report finds that the majority of those women — 51,100 — were killed by a husband, partner or family member.
Those figures are likely undercounts because many countries around the world don't collect data on femicide.
