November 26, 2025
|The Straits Times
Every 10 minutes in 2024, a woman somewhere in the world was killed by a person close to her, the United Nations said on Nov 24 as it decried a lack of progress in the battle against femicide.

Some 50,000 women and girls were killed by intimate partners or family members in 2024, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and UN Women said in a report released to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The report said 60 per cent of women killed around the world were murdered by partners or relatives such as fathers, uncles, mothers and brothers.
For comparison, 11 per cent of male murder victims were killed by someone close to them.
