This article written by the UNODC and UN Women discuss multiple topics relating to femicide within its chapters.These include intimate partner/family member femicide in 2023, trends in IPV/family member femicide, homicide in the private sphere having a disproportionate impact on women and girls, and preventing femicide. In 2023, approximately 51,100 women and girls were victims of femicide by their intimate partners or family. This number was higher than the 2022 estimate of 48 thousand due to more data being available in different countries. This data suggests that sixty percent of eighty-five thousand femicide victims were murdered by close family or their intimate partner. The article mentions that 140 women and girls are victims of femicide everyday on average, where their intimate partner or family members are the killers. 

The authors discuss the lack of data in certain regions, arguing that trends in femicide are mostly pulled from Europe and the Americas. Data from France, South Africa and Colombia have shown that a large number of femicide cases involved victims who previously reported domestic abuse, including physical, psychological, or sexual violence. The author calls for the increased use in restraining orders that could prevent femicides.
