N2  - This study gives an overview of the scope of gender-related killing of women and girls. It provides in-depth
analysis of killings perpetrated within the family sphere and examines forms of gender-related killings
perpetrated outside the family sphere, such as the killing of women in conflict and the killing of female sex
workers. The study explores the scale of intimate partner/family-related killings of women and girls, and
describes different forms of gender-related killings of women. It also looks at the characteristics of the perpetrators of intimate partner killings, the link between lethal and non-lethal violence against women, and the criminal justice response. This booklet is part of the Global Study on Homicide, 2019 by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), now published in 6 parts. Follow the link to the website for the other parts.  

In 2020 UNODC produced a related podcast "Counting the scale of intimate femicide" presented by Kate Fitz-Gibbon and Wendy O'Brien - follow the link to the podcast.
