claim: On average, three women are killed by men every week, while one in four women has been a victim of rape or sexual assault at some point.
evidence: "Currently, there are at least two to three women per week who are killed by their ex-partners or current partners." [...] Just under half of all women killed were killed by their partners or ex-partners, according to the latest official statistics for England and Wales in 2015/16 (44%). These numbers seem sadly stable over time. Between the start of 2009 and end of 2015, the Femicide Census found 598 women in England and Wales who were killed by men who were their current or former partners—an average of 85 women per year.
