The importance of monitoring
• It is increasingly possible to monitor trends of
killings in the domestic sphere.
• No change in Americas and Europe, slow decline
in countries of Asia/Oceania

• Killings of women by intimate partners and family
members is key indicator to assess VAW
Conclusions
members is key indicator to assess VAW
• Difficult to eradicate
• Significant prevalence in all regions
• Important to monitor
• Future research work: need to better understand
enablers/drivers and perpetrators
