A woman is killed by a partner or former partner nearly every two days in Germany. Activists have called on the government to do more to end violence against women.

Summary

A woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner nearly every two days in Germany, with 155 such murders in 2023, according to the first-ever Federal Criminal Police Office report on gender-specific crimes.

Activists and officials are calling for stronger protections, but Germany’s anti-domestic violence law remains stalled in political negotiations.

Women’s shelters lack 14,000 spaces, forcing some victims to travel hundreds of kilometers for safety.

Funding gaps, insufficient legal protections, and high costs deter many from seeking help, perpetuating cycles of violence.

    In all fairness, reactions like yours are probably a reason why. Look, the MGTOW and incels should just fuck off already…

    In this case the subject is related, and a 45/55 split is way less than the disparity in media coverage would have everyone believe.

    The original comment you responded to could have been more helpful to ask for more attention for Domestic Violence in general. But something tells me it would have been met with similar responses.

    Alienating, and ignoring the issues men have that possibly even are a root cause for their instability that leads to DV is also helping women… maybe even more. This is like how poverty creates crime… not ethnicity. It is much more of a class issue than a gender causes violence/victimization issue…
