The Straits Times
|November 26, 2025

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.
