Released on the 25th anniversary of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the report sheds light on the global crisis of femicide and calls for urgent action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe epidemic of violence against women and girls shames humanity,\u201d said Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres in his address for the day. \u201cThe world must heed this call. We need urgent action for justice and accountability, and support for advocacy.\u201d The report also coincides with the start of the annual 16 Days of Activism campaign, which runs from 25 November to 10 December.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the UNITE campaign is drawing attention to the alarming escalation of violence against women under the theme, \u201cEvery 10 minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse. UNITE to End Violence against Women\u201d. Femicide transcends borders, socioeconomic statuses, and cultures, but its severity varies regionally.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Africa recorded the highest rates of intimate partner and family-related femicides, with 21,700 women killed in 2023, followed by the Americas and Oceania. In Europe and the Americas, most victims were killed by their intimate partners, comprising 64 per cent and 58 per cent of cases, respectively. In contrast, women in Africa and Asia were more likely to be killed by family members than by partners, reflecting varied cultural and social dynamics responsible for this discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the alarming numbers, the lack of consistent and comprehensive data remains a significant challenge. Only 37 countries reported data on intimate partner and family-related femicides in 2023, a sharp decline from 75 countries in 2020. This data gap hampers efforts to monitor trends and enforce accountability for these crimes\u200b.<\/p>\n<p>UN Women and UNODC stressed the need for systematic data collection as part of a broader strategy to address violence against women. Accurate and transparent data is essential to inform policy, track progress, and ensure governments remain accountable for their commitments to gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>Posters made by children from Ixtapaluca, State of Mexico, alluding to the eradication of violence against women and girls.

She emphasised the need for \u201crobust legislation, improved data collection, greater government accountability, a zero-tolerance culture, and increased funding for women\u2019s rights organizations and institutional bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new femicide report highlights the urgent need for strong criminal justice systems that hold perpetrators accountable, while ensuring adequate support for survivors, including access to safe and transparent reporting mechanisms,\u201d added Ghada Waly, Executive Director of UNODC. \u201cAs this year\u2019s 16 Days of Activism Campaign begins, we must act now to protect women\u2019s lives,\u201d Ms. Bahous concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/11\/1157386\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/one-woman-killed-every-10-minutes-the-harrowing-global-reality-of-femicide\/\">One woman killed every 10 minutes: The harrowing global reality of femicide<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17066,606,607,608,684,568],"class_list":["post-135632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-elimination","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-violence","tag-women"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135632\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
