An estimated 140 women and girls across the world die at the hands of their partner or family member every day, according to new global estimates on femicide by the UN.

The report by UN Women found 85,000 women and girls were killed intentionally by men in 2023, with 60% (51,100) of these deaths committed by someone close to the victim. The organisation said its figures showed that, globally, the most dangerous place for a woman to be was in her home, where the majority of women die at the hands of men.

Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, UN Women’s deputy executive director, said: “What the data is telling us is that it is the private and domestic sphere’s of women’s lives, where they should be safest, that so many of them are being exposed to deadly violence.

    Historical odds of experiencing violence in the past has no relevance to discrete odds of danger now, correct.

    Glad you finally figured it out.

    Having experienced food poisoning 5 years ago has zero relevance to the question of “is this current dish I am about to eat safe?”

    The latter is the discussion you are insisting on butting in on and trying to steer the convo towards the former.

    No one gives a shit about your food poisoning from 5 years ago Karen, we are discussing if this dish right now is poisoned or not.
