WHO Mortality Database, female deaths by assaultWorld Health Organization (WHO) · Death and health registersRetrieved 2026-10-25 | 02024 | Registered deaths of women and girls (all ages) with underlying cause assault, ICD-10 X85-Y09, divided by the UN World Population Prospects 2024 female population for 1 July, because WHO's population file has no figure for this year, times 100,000.Codes used: detailed external-cause codes, none of them assault, so zero assault deaths. Countries that report the condensed Tabulation List 1 contribute its assault item (1102), which covers the same X85-Y09 range; years where a country reports only a total for all external causes have no value. National rows only. Year rule: only WHO has data for this country, so its latest year is used. Raw files: morticd10_part1-6.zip (0 female assault deaths) and WPP2024_Demographic_Indicators_Medium.csv.gz from UN World Population Prospects 2024 (https://population.un.org/wpp/). WHO publishes the data as the country sent them and does not adjust for incomplete registration. The same file records 0 female deaths of undetermined intent (Y10-Y34) for this year; some of these may be homicides. | 4 of 5 checks

Who reports it, and since when
No source of these kinds: police and justice records, independent count.
- Single source: nothing to check it against
figure no figure here, inside its range no later figure recorded change
Why the numbers differ
- They come from two separate systems: UNODC compiles police and criminal justice records of female victims, while the WHO Mortality Database counts death certificates of women and girls with the cause coded as assault (ICD-10 X85-Y09).
- Both divide by the female population, but UNODC uses UN World Population Prospects figures and WHO uses the population the country reported, so the bases can differ slightly.
- Where many deaths go unregistered, or many violent deaths are coded as "undetermined intent", the WHO count falls below the police count.
- Small counts make single-year rates jump. In countries with few female victims a year, one or two deaths change the rate visibly.
Common mistakes
- A female homicide rate is not a femicide count. It includes every intentional killing of a woman or girl, whatever the motive or the relationship to the perpetrator.
- The rate per 100,000 women and girls cannot be compared directly with a rate per 100,000 people, which uses the whole population.
