A UN Report published Monday said the most dangerous place for women and girls was their own home. Around 140 of them are killed by an intimate partner or relative every day globally on average, totaling to 51,100 in 2023 alone.

The cumulative number has increased marginally from the 2022 figure of 48,800, according to the report by UN Women and the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

UN Women deputy head Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda said these figures were “the tip of the iceberg.” UNODC chief Ghada Waly had earlier said “humanity continues to grapple with deeply ingrained inequalities."

The report, however, mentioned that the rise from 2022 was mostly due to increased available data and not more killings. In 2023, the most number of such deaths were reported from Africa with 21,700 victims.

Home, a place meant for refuge, has become a graveyard for too many women. Every day, they are murdered by those they trust most—partners and family. This global scourge, fueled by intimate violence and societal neglect, leaves scars far beyond the body. Despite years of awareness, the crisis persists, unyielding, its victims unheard and unsupported. A world that allows this darkness to thrive must answer for its indifference.
