A recent report by the UN Office On Crime and Drugs on the prevalence of women murdered worldwide by people closest to them, estimates that roughly 137 are killed a day, 87,000 last year alone. 64% of those murdered were slain by a domestic partner or family member.

Women in Africa are most at risk for being murdered by those they know (3.1 per 100,000), while Asia had the most killing of female family members at 20,000 last year. More

  7. Most people are killed by family or close associates who know them.

    To be killed by someone who doesn’t know you requires you to come into contact with them.

    It’s like car insurers saying that most accidents happen close to your home. Duh. It’s where you spend the greatest percentage of your time. Not that your street is more dangerous than a 10 lane interstate.

    But the Narrative must have its shocking headline.

  9. This reminds me of another misleading statistic: “If you own a gun, you are more likely to be killed with a gun.” Given that in the U.S. the overwhelming number of murders are criminals (primarily gang members) killing other criminals, and given that most gang-type criminals own guns, this is not surprising. But it is used by the gun grabbers to try and scare people into thinking that if they own a gun, they are going to get shot.

  10. “On Monday 1 October, Judith Chesang and her sister Nancy were out in the fields harvesting their sorghum crop.

    Judith, a mother of three, had recently separated from her husband, Laban Kamuren, and had decided to return to her parents’ village in the north of the country.

    Soon after the sisters began their duties, he arrived at the family farm where he attacked and killed Judith.

    Local police say he has since been killed by villagers.”

    Seems the problem was solved.

    ““If you own a gun, you are more likely to be killed with a gun.”

    Well if you suck at using a gun yea. Coming in second place in a gun fight is not optimal.

    Every time I hear that argument I’m amazed at the lack of logic.

  12. TommyBoy.My mind is failing me. But I remember either reading a story or seeing a documentary, or film, about a small town that endured a big bully who terrorized the town for years. One day he was found dead. The case was never solved. Anyone?

  13. Imagine all the women who would be alive each year if their own families and partners were prevented from murdering them by their societies taking measures to protect wives, mothers and girlfriends from domestic violence?

    With current immigration slackness, Western nations will probably see the same rates of murder of relatives already experienced in nations where culture over rides the rule of law.

  14. Yeah Moe Tom….It was in Missouri. My uncle was doing some genealogy stuff and stopped by because we had possible relations from around there. Nobody would talk to him about that incident. Northwest Missouri….Skidmore Missouri and his name was Ken McElroy

  16. Brad….did you read the book? Good read. The consensus is that they took the guns and melted them down and then they went into some rural well. A couple hundred people keeping a secret…..amazing….
