Femicide crisis: Over 3,800 women killed in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2023

The Caribbean joins the international community today in observing the annual 16 Days of Activism campaign against a sobering report that last year, 40 women and girls died every day at the hands of their partner or a close relative, which means one woman killed every 10 minutes.

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean said in 2023 that at least 3,897 women were victims of femicide or feminicide in 27 countries and territories in Latin America and the Caribbean.
