Why is femicide on the rise globally?

We ask why so many women are still being killed by femicide and why.

A woman or girl is killed every ten minutes, usually by a friend or relative, somewhere in the world. Typically, the perpetrator is a member of a family or an intimate partner. Femicide is not a series of singular tragedies, but rather a pervasive, systemic crisis, hidden behind this bleak statistic.
