The Ontario Association of Interval & Transition Housing has released two new femicide reports. Read both the reports at the link below:
In January 2025, 2 femicides were reported in January. Since May 1, 2022, 162 femicides have been reported in Ontario.
As of January 2025, 99 municipal governments in Ontario have declared intimate partner / gender-based violence an epidemic. As a result, more people are becoming engaged in education and prevention in their local communities.
Femicide is commonly defined as the intentional murder of women because they are women. OAITH’s femicide definition includes a gender-based killing of a woman, child, trans woman, 2-Spirited Person, or gender non-conforming individual where a man has been charged in relation to the death.
