Two-thirds of all murders of women in Russia over the past 10 years were committed by their partners or relatives. This was revealed by human rights activists in a study by the Consortium of Women's Non-Governmental Organizations.

Of 18.5 thousand women, 12.2 thousand were victims of their partners or relatives (65.8%). And 9,868 women died at the hands of their partners, which is about 53% of all sentences studied by experts.

The authors pointed out that Russia turned out to be the world leader by this indicator. So, in Europe, the percentage of women who were victims of domestic violence is 29%, in Africa - 38%.

In Russia, the law on domestic violence was repealed, citing the belief that partners have the right to sort out their relationships on their own. Neither women nor men are entitled to protection from domestic violence.
