Femicide Census
The Femicide Census is a unique source of comprehensive information about women who have been killed in the UK and the men who have killed them.
Men’s violence against women is a leading cause of the premature death for women globally but research in the UK and Europe is limited and unconnected. The Femicide Census significantly improves upon currently available data by providing detailed comparable data about femicides in the UK since 2009, including demographic and social factors and the methods men selected to kill women.
