A woman is killed by a partner or former partner nearly every two days in Germany. Activists have called on the government to do more to end violence against women.

Summary

A woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner nearly every two days in Germany, with 155 such murders in 2023, according to the first-ever Federal Criminal Police Office report on gender-specific crimes.

Activists and officials are calling for stronger protections, but Germany’s anti-domestic violence law remains stalled in political negotiations.

Women’s shelters lack 14,000 spaces, forcing some victims to travel hundreds of kilometers for safety.

Funding gaps, insufficient legal protections, and high costs deter many from seeking help, perpetuating cycles of violence.

    You obviously don’t give a shit enough to become an activist for your own opinions, otherwise you’d be out there too. Instead you’re here hijacking unrelated threads for it. You probably just get off on online controversy like so many other useless trolls.

      No, you are wrong. However, it is perfectly reasonable to be an activist and still post on social media sometimes.

      unrelated

      Also no.

        You’re the kind of person that tells someone that got shot that you also stubbed your toe last week and it hurt really bad too.
