Half Of All Female Homicide Victims Are Killed By Intimate Partners

More than half of female homicide victims were killed in connection to intimate partner violence — and in 10 percent of those cases, violence shortly before the killing might have provided an opportunity for intervention.

That is according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published Thursday, that takes a close look at the homicides of women.

More than 55 percent of the deaths were related to partner violence, and the vast majority of those were carried out by a male partner.

"What's notable is that this is across all racial ethnic groups," says Emiko Petrosky, a science officer at the CDC and an author of the report. "Intimate partner violence can affect anyone ... it really just shows that [this] is a public health problem."

Keep reading about how black women and indigenous women have significantly higher rates then other races... damn!

Don't tell me we got it better than those in saudi arabia whose husband and fathers can kill their wife, mother, children, if they are female... cause if we did, this wouldn't be the fucking case!

Nobody seems to give damn.. so it's not a big fn deal. Well, it is and it's about damned time something is done about it.
