A report by economic and social
research institute Eures said Saturday that 99 women were killed
in Italy between 1 January and 18 November this year.
It said that over a third of these women, 37%, were over 65 and
in most cases they were killed by their spouse or one of their
children.
It said foreign femicide victims rose sharply, from 17 last year
to 24, meaning they account for almost a quarter of the total
(24.2%).
The number of non-Italian femicide perpetrators, however, fell
from 23 to 16, a decrease of 30.4%.
