UNODC Data Portal, homicide victims by relationship to the perpetratorUnited Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) · Police and justice recordsRetrieved 2026-10-26 · Data (Excel file) | 0.662024 | Female victims of intentional homicide (ICCS 0101) killed by a current or former intimate partner or a family member (blood relatives, relatives by marriage or adoption, and household members), all ages, 2024, per 100,000 female population (UN World Population Prospects 2024).Count: 60 (intimate partner 54, other family member 6), out of 521 female homicide victims. UNODC source code: CTS. Latest year with a value. Because the relationship is unknown for most female victims, this value counts only the cases where a partner or family member was recorded. It is a floor, so it does not measure the defined number and is shown but not counted. Raw file: data_cts_intentional_homicide.xlsx (UNODC, last update 12 July 2026). | 4 of 5 checks

Why the numbers differ
- Many countries do not record the relationship between victim and killer, or record it for only some cases. Where most relationships are unknown, the recorded partner or family count is a floor, and a low rate can mean missing information rather than few killings.
- Definitions differ: some national statistics count only current or former partners, some count boyfriends separately, and some count only killings by men; the UN definition covers partners, relatives and household members of either sex.
- Feminicide or femicide as a legal category (as in Mexico and much of Latin America) is not the same as killings by partners and family: it covers gender-related killings by anyone, and partner killings filed under another crime are left out.
- National counts and UNODC can show different years: UNODC publishes what governments report to it, often a year or more after national figures appear.
- UNODC and UN Women estimate that about 50,000 women and girls (44,400 to 55,500) were killed by a partner or family member worldwide in 2024, around 1.2 per 100,000 women and girls. The estimate fills gaps by imputation, from data for 117 countries or territories. (source, retrieved 2026-10-26)
Common mistakes
- Reading a near-zero UNODC rate as near-zero violence. In some countries, such as Mexico and Colombia, the relationship to the killer is unknown for almost all female victims, so the partner and family count captures only a small part of what happened.
