38.

That's the number of women murdered this year by their partners.

Yes, another woman was murdered by her partner today.

That is the 4th woman this week.

it averages out at 2 women killed every week.

We can talk until we are blue in the face about what a threat terrorism is. But terrorism pales in comparison to this.

And, as usual, todays deaths barely rates a mention in the newspapers. And, as usual, our politicians couldn't care less.

Give women handguns. Government could give them out on 18th birthday. Eventually all the violent men would be dead. If all the men ended up dead then so be it, people are the worst thing that ever happened to this planet anyway

It's a horrible statistic only out done by the statistic of 21 fathers a week committing suicide due to their unfair treatment in the family court

Not all male suicides are caused by family break down.  Truth be known, probably very few are caused by family breakdown, although it's easy to blame the woman/family court.

My source is the same source as Cosmo. Th current tally who die at the hands of a man sits at 38. As cosmo rightly pointed out, of those 38 women, 34 were direct cases of partners murdering the women. Of the rest, only 2 were murdered by strangers.

Link isn't required because the the information is easy enough to find as news articles (albeit small ones) are usually published with each death. Most will give a running tally.

Just reread this and typing too quickly - the 34 should read partners and close family.

I think the women would be killing more women out of jealousy, bit chiness etc

as far as  domestic violence statistics

go, men are not far behind.

i wonder why when the issue of domestic

violence is raised - the only statistics that

are mentioned are female victims?

all deaths are equally reported by the media.

anyone would like to have a guess?

Have 30 men been killed by women this year?

The statistic is off of the 21fathers web site and apparently is taken from the figures released by Centrelink.
Neither statistic really matters as to how accurate they are as even the loss of one life regardless of gender is to much if it could be prevented

It's a stretch to assume all male suicides are caused by the family court, which is ultimately placing the blame on women.

[kilroy_is_here]

No where did I blame women the blame lies with the court system , I also think you will find that that stat is only regarding those that are directly linked to the family court , personally I think you could well link a few of martinis murders to the family court as well the system is not working and desperately needs fixing
