The report from the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability comes on the 30th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre at the University of Montreal

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.At least 118 women and girls have been murdered across the country so far this year, according to an annual report by the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability – a statistic for researchers that is alarming in its predictability.

Three decades later, the CFOJA notes, “women and girls continue to be victimized and killed because they are women and girls.” Of the 118 murders of women and girls in 2019 – a figure the report cautions is likely low, given that at least 21 other deaths have been flagged by police services as suspicious – perpetrators were identified in 98 cases. Of those, a man was the primary accused in 87 per cent.

Indigenous women and girls, as well as those living in rural and remote regions, continue to be disproportionately at risk. Though more than 80 per cent of the population lives in urban areas, only 62 per cent of the women killed were in urban areas; 38 per cent of the femicides took place in rural or small towns.

Men dying isn’t important

Shouldn’t you point out all of the deaths

Three times as many pedestrians mowed down by cars. At least if I get murdered the person would get a nice long jail sentence. If I get killed while standing on the sidewalk by a distracted driver losing control, they get a few demerit points as a penalty.

OMG

Um, Can I ask a question? How many in total have been killed, including women? You didn't mention that at all. When making a comparison, we like to have all the facts so we can make a considerable effort to understand the data and what it means. It's called being honest.

Any men or boys?

'5 times as many men killed than women so far in 2019'. There, fixed it for you.

Are you guys suggesting that a woman's life is more valuable then a man's life? Why not provide us with the statistics for men as well? That pretty sexist of you guys.

Respectfully, how many men and boys? This do need to be put in perspective ... how many men were murdered by unhappy women? By unhappy men? Would be interesting to know!

TrudeauMustGo

How many men?

How many men and boys?

'A lesson to be learned': Winnipeg woman sharing her Holocaust diariesThe diaries of a young Jewish girl whose parents died in the Holocaust are now part of a display in the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada. I believe about 30% of the German people supported the Nazi's. Just proves how a group of ignorant people can be easily manipulated by a mad man and his minions which cause so much suffering. Long live Israel and it shall as it has been prophesied. KovaZukerman Ok.
