Austrians question the structural problem of femicide in the country. In Austria, women are more victims of murder than men, a rare occurrence within the European Union.
According to associations, one in three women in Austria is exposed to physical or sexual violence. Every month, three women on average are killed. Between 2010 and 2020, 319 women were killed in Austria, according to NGOs. The Austrian government is working on better networking between different actors and structures, as well as opening of an analysis center on feminicides.
