The Femicide Census the most compressive single source of UK information about women who have been killed and the men who have killed them. Launched in 2015, the Femicide Census became a separate legal entity in 2019 and a registered charity in 2024. Since its launch, the Femicide Census has become established as a leading articulation of men’s fatal violence against women in the UK.
Currently, the Femicide Census does not enter into direct employment but has a secondment agreement with nia, who act as employer.
For nearly 50 years, nia has provided high quality, women-led services across North and East London. nia’s values, and our commitment to upholding them, set us apart. We put women first – always and without hesitation: we believe women, we are run by women, for women. We leave no woman behind: we challenge inequality and discrimination and believe that uniting women of all backgrounds is essential to ending the sex-based oppression of women.
Men’s violence against women is a leading cause of the premature death for women globally but research in the UK and Europe is limited and unconnected. The Femicide Census improves upon currently available data by providing detailed comparable data about femicides in the UK, including demographic and contextual factors and the methods men selected to kill women.
