Often you must have seen that the argument given regarding women going out is that it is not safe for women to go out more often and stay out till late. But a recent report by the United Nations has made a shocking revelation regarding this. A report released by the United Nations states that last year, every 10 minutes, a woman was murdered somewhere in the world. Apart from this, figures regarding murder of men have also been released in this report. In such a situation, let us tell you today whether men or women are murdered more in the world and who makes them their victims.
What was revealed in the United Nations report?
A new report by the United Nations Anti-Drugs and Crime Office and UN Women has raised questions on the safety of women. The United Nations report shows that 83,000 women and girls will be murdered in the year 2024. Out of which 50 thousand i.e. 60 percent have been murdered by their own partner or a family member. This means that every 10 minutes a woman or girl is murdered at the hands of someone close to her. On an average this figure is 137 women dying every day. The report states that the killing of women is not the result of a single incident but is part of a continuous series of violence. Which often starts with controlling behaviour, threats and harassment. In many cases, this violence starts on online platforms, reaches real life and ultimately takes a deadly form. According to the policy director of UN Women, home remains the most dangerous place for women today. Whereas the common belief is that it is most dangerous for women to go out.
What happens to men?
According to this report of United Nation, only 11 percent of the cases of murders of men are such in which the murder was committed by a close partner or family member. That means, for men, the danger is mostly outside the home, while for women, the danger is mostly inside the home.
Which country is most at risk?
The United Nations report states that the highest number of cases of femicide have been registered in Africa. Where in 2024, about 22,000 women and girls have become victims of murder. Its figures have also been seen in other regions like Asia, America, Europe and Oceania. But the number of such cases has been found to be the lowest in Europe. The study also revealed that technology has created new threats for women such as cyber stalking, image based blackmailing, doxxing and deepfakes. At times this digital violence turns into real world violence and murder.
In this report of the United Nations, warnings and appeals have also been made regarding women. According to the United Nations, home is still a deadly place for many women and girls around the world. The United Nations has appealed that to stop femicide, there is a need for strict laws, better data and strict action against criminals.
