Northern Ireland has the highest rate of femicide in Western Europe
In this ranking, France and Germany are far ahead of Romania (84 female deaths), the United Kingdom (70) or Italy (65). As the French 24-hour news channel BFMTV noted on its website, this figure is also related to the number of inhabitants in the country. Taking that into account, Romania has the highest percentage of femicides. There are 4.3 deaths of women by voluntary homicide per million inhabitants, followed by Hungary (4.2), Finland (3.6) and Germany (2.3). France ranks sixth with 1.8 murders of women per million inhabitants. [...] The case of Northern Ireland is a peculiar one. If we separate Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom, the number of femicides reaches a high level of 4.2 deaths per million inhabitants, or eight murders of women in 2017.
