For all those who say that women must not step out of their homes citing safety reasons, here’s a report which is more of a revelation – Home is the most unsafe place for women.
More than half of the women who were murdered worldwide in 2017 were killed by their partners, or family members, making a home “the most dangerous place for a woman”.
In statistics released on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime calculated that of a total 87,000 female homicide cases worldwide in 2017, some 50,000 — or 58 per cent — were committed by the victims’ intimate partners or family members.
