Violence against women and girls has reached epidemic levels and police are treating it as a threat on the same scale as terrorism, Britain’s police chiefs said Tuesday.
More than 1 million violent crimes against women and girls were recorded by U.K. police in 2022 to 2023, accounting for one-fifth of all recorded crime, a new report commissioned by the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing said.
One in every six murders was related to domestic abuse in the same period. At least one in every 12 women each year will be a victim of crimes including sexual offenses, rape, stalking, harassment or online sexual abuse, the report estimated, with the exact number thought to be much higher because of crimes that go unreported.
I really agree with the sentiment of the bottom post, but grammatically it just doesn’t feel right to me. If two men kill two women each, then “how many women are killed by men” is 4, but “how many men kill women” is just 2. Maybe “how many women men kill”?
This is just really pedantic tho, the most important part is that femicides get treated more seriously
