True-crime podcasts typically recount tales of victims being murdered or kidnapped by total strangers, which is undoubtedly a scary scenario. But what about violence committed by a family member? For women, the numbers are disturbing. In 2023, approximately 60 percent (or 51,100) of women and girls intentionally killed worldwide were murdered by an intimate partner or other family member, according to a UNODC report on femicide. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 16 percent of homicide victims were members of the defendant's own family. #fwdnetwork #familicide #podcast
