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!
