UN Women kicks off a UN-wide annual campaign on 25 November, the International Day to End Violence against Women.

Over the following 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, we are asking governments, institutions, and citizens to show us how much the world cares about ending violence against women and girls.

According to Destroy the Joint’s Counting Dead Women, 66 women have been killed by violence. With six weeks remaining in 2024, the register of women killed has already surpassed last year’s total – 64.

Sherele Moody’s Australia Femicide Watch, which takes a different approach to updating its toll and includes Australian women killed overseas, reports 86 women killed by violence this year.
