HOME: THE DEADLIEST PLACE FOR WOMEN
An average of 140 women, girls were killed by partner or relative per day in 2023: UN

In 2023, an estimated 51,100 women and girls worldwide were killed by intimate partners or family members, averaging 140 deaths daily, according to a report by UN Women and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). This marks an increase from 48,800 such victims in 2022, though the rise is attributed to improved data collection rather than an actual surge in killings.
