Quote:This was not the first, nor would it be the last femicide to occur in Greece this year, a country with the highest rate of men killing women in Europe.
Quote:A comprehensive 2023 report conducted by European Data Journalism Network with the participation of newsrooms across Europe revealed that Greece had the highest increase in femicides in 2021 with an increase of a staggering 187.5% from 8 incidents in 2020 to 23 in 2021. But across the region, in Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Germany, femicides are on the rise, fueling the demand from women and lawmakers to recognize femicide as a crime in its own right. So far only three European states, Slovakia, Cyprus, and Malta have ventured to take this step, although Croatia has introduced legislation. But there is also an alarming lack of data. According to the report, no official data has been published at a European Union level for the period after 2018, and the findings of a survey started in 2020 by the European Institute for Gender Equity are still not published.
