Summary
A U.N. report shows that 140 women and girls were killed daily by intimate partners or family members in 2023, totaling 51,100 victims, an increase of 2,300 from 2022.
The rise reflects improved data collection rather than an increase in violence.
The highest rates were in Africa, with 2.9 victims per 100,000 people.
Despite global prevention efforts, these killings, often the result of ongoing gender-based violence, persist at alarming levels.
The report emphasizes the preventability of such violence through timely and effective interventions.
What’s the number of men and boys killed by intimate partners or family members per day?
Here is the actual report.
Taking this 60%, that would mean that about 92.4 men were killed.
And I’d bet more by family than partners, and from other studies I saw years ago: when men are killed by intimate partner violence, its still disproportionately by men.

A different conversation. If you want to start that conversation, feel free, but do it in your own post.
The title is worded in a way that implies it’s a gendered issue, so asking for more information about the gender divide is appropriate. I appreciate that other replies have given the numbers to back up the extent to which it’s gendered.
It’s very related, and the answer is found in the same report. Another commenter answered tho.
It’s not unusual to have sideline discussions in a comment thread.
