The brief on Germany highlights that the country lacks a legal definition of femicide, with gender-based killings prosecuted under general homicide laws. Between 2019 and 2020, 360 women were killed, 63% by current or former partners. Despite existing domestic violence laws, risk assessments and protection measures are inconsistently applied, and shelters remain underfunded. Only a small percentage of victims had prior contact with police or support services before deaths. This article identifies key gaps, including limited data collection, inadequate inter-agency coordination, and insufficient prevention efforts addressing patriarchal norms. It recommends developing femicide-specific risk tools, improving training for police and legal professionals, expanding protective services, and establishing a national femicide observatory. The policy calls for legislative reform to recognize femicide as a distinct crime and for comprehensive prevention campaigns that challenges harmful gender norms and promote accountability.
