El asesinato de mujeres en su propia familia, también conocido como feminicidio íntimo, es un grave problema social y de derechos humanos. Este tipo de violencia se caracteriza por el asesinato de una mujer por parte de un miembro de su familia, como una pareja íntima, expareja, padre, hermano u otro pariente cercano. Estos crímenes son a menudo el resultado de dinámicas de poder y control, y pueden estar motivados por celos, honor, conflictos familiares u otras razones.

Stop killing women


According to UN Women, 2022 was the year in which the most women were intentionally murdered to date: nearly 89,000. Of these ‘Around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members (including fathers, mothers, uncles and brothers). This means that, on average, more than 133 women or girls are killed every day by someone in their own family.’
If it’s not bad enough that femicide is increasing, the real statistic is probably much higher: ‘for roughly four in ten intentional murders of women and girls, there is not enough information to identify them as gender-related killings because of national variation in criminal justice recording and investigation practices’.
