Intentional homicides, female (per 100,000 female)

This statistic reflects the rate of unlawful killings of women, specifically those resulting from personal motivations such as domestic disputes and interpersonal conflicts. Such homicides are often rooted in societal issues, including gender-based violence and systemic discrimination, highlighting the vulnerabilities women face in various contexts. Beyond personal relationships, these killings may also arise from territorial disputes among gangs or violent confrontations instigated by armed groups. Importantly, this measure underscores the distinction between individual or small-group perpetrated homicides and larger-scale killings associated with organized conflict, offering a crucial insight into the dynamics of violence affecting women's safety. Understanding this statistic is essential for developing targeted interventions that can address the underlying factors contributing to these tragic incidents. Source:
