A Too Familiar Story for International Women's Day

It seems to be the case that women talking about the dangers of womanhood forget something...

According to the data given by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, worldwide, 78.7% of homicide victims are men, and in 193 of the 202 listed countries or regions, men were more likely to be killed than women. In two, the ratio was 50:50 (Switzerland and British Virgin Islands), and in the remaining seven – Tonga, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Latvia, and Hong Kong – women were slightly more likely to be victims of homicides compared to males.[1] A 2013 global study on homicide by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime found that men accounted for about 96 percent of all homicide perpetrators worldwide[2] and 79% of the victims (see the chart below). The homicide rate is per year per 100,000 inhabitants.

The majority of murder victims globally are men.

In the UK specifically, men comprise 7 out of 10 murder victims.

Of course lone women have a risk of being victimized by men because they are less physically strong and ideal victims.

But the numbers are actually such that men are still even murdered at higher numbers, so talking about violence exclusively through the lens of gender as men cannot speak on these issues seems odd.

I don’t think many will disagree.

However, how do you propose to achieve it? That’s probably the major issue. If it was easy it would have been rolled out long ago.

Your also missing the point that men are being murdered by other men. The focus should be on the perpetrators who are almost exclusively men. There is something wrong with us and you trying to dress this abhorrent behaviour up as somehow universal to the point that we should move along because there is nothing to see here means that you are particularly wrong.
All men with any kind of history of violence toward women or men should be on a curfew until such time that THEY can prove they are no longer a danger to their fellow citizens and women in particular.
