In 2025, 147 women and girls were violently killed in Canada, most often by men they knew.
Research from the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability shows these deaths follow recognizable patterns: gendered violence, killings in private spaces, and warning signs that are often overlooked.
Understanding those patterns is essential if we want to prevent future violence.
