In Brazil and Mexico, where homicide rates are relatively high, women make up only 10% of all homicide victims. In contrast, across European countries, where homicide rates are relatively low, women on average account for 35% of all homicide victims.23 This different gender structure indicates a different typology of homicides in different regions of the world, with higher shares of men victims associated with larger shares of firearm and organised crime-related deaths. Intimate partner/domestic violence is likely to be more devastating for victims than violence outside the home, as it might leave victims without a safe place to live, with no one to trust, and anxieties about the safety of their children (Robeyns, 2003).
