Femicide is the most brutal and extreme manifestation of violence against women and girls, rooted in gender inequality, stereotyped gender roles, discrimination towards women and girls or harmful social norms. Femicide takes place in all regions and countries around the world. Globally, an estimated 81,100 women and girls were killed intentionally in 2021. This side event will discuss ways to strengthen responses to gender related killings and other forms of gender based violence against women and girls on a local, national and international level.
