I think this is clever wording to promote the charity these women work for. I'm all for protecting women in need but this article really does lay on the fear mongering.
I think it would be a good thing to reduce all murders of any persons, but the claim that any are being silenced just simply isn't true. If a murder is suspected then its investigated regardless of the age of the person and I see no evidence provided that this isn't being done or is being done to a poor standard.
We have a criminal justice system to be proud of, which is one that is benchmarked the world over. Criminals are tried and jailed once found guilty.
No woman should have to suffer murder, but thankfully we're in the minority as its a fate faced predominantly by men.
If care homes aren't included in the figures I can't think why but any murders there by carers are likely to be by women as they make up the vast majority of staff same as with refuges.
I don't understand what the issue is they're highlighting. Of course less femicide would be better and figures over the past decade show its going down, but exactly what they plan anyone does is a mystery that they've missed out.
