An average of 140 women and girls were killed every day in 2023 by their partner or a family member, according to a UN report published on Monday.

The report, released by UN Women and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), reveals that femicide, the most extreme form of violence against women and girls, remains pervasive globally, and "the home is the most dangerous place for women and girls."
