Summary
A U.N. report shows that 140 women and girls were killed daily by intimate partners or family members in 2023, totaling 51,100 victims, an increase of 2,300 from 2022.
The rise reflects improved data collection rather than an increase in violence.
The highest rates were in Africa, with 2.9 victims per 100,000 people.
Despite global prevention efforts, these killings, often the result of ongoing gender-based violence, persist at alarming levels.
The report emphasizes the preventability of such violence through timely and effective interventions.
What’s the number of men and boys killed by intimate partners or family members per day?
Luckily CitricBase did the math. It’s a 140:110 split for death as a result of domestic dispute.

Wouldn’t that be valuable to the argument, then?
Possibly if they weren’t just guessing.
Here is the actual report.
Taking this 60%, that would mean that about 92.4 men were killed.
I’m not sure on the math there. 20% of homicide were women, with 60% of those 20% being killed from domestic violence. It doesn’t directly mention what percentage of men were killed from domestic violence.

A different conversation. If you want to start that conversation, feel free, but do it in your own post.
It’s very related, and the answer is found in the same report. Another commenter answered tho.
It’s not unusual to have sideline discussions in a comment thread.
The title is worded in a way that implies it’s a gendered issue, so asking for more information about the gender divide is appropriate. I appreciate that other replies have given the numbers to back up the extent to which it’s gendered.
Nah stfu
