evidence: Just days before the General Election, we have released our report on UK femicides in 2021 Our report, on women killed by men in 2021 is released, just days before a general election. Since the Conservative government came to power in May 2010, the lives of at least 1,924 women have been cut short by men. That’s an average of one woman dead at the hands of a man every 2.7 days. It is vital that the incoming government understands that it is not good enough to leave femicide reform to grieving families and loved ones.
