Femicide refers to the intentional killing of women and girls based on their gender. It is a grave form of gender-based violence and reflects deeply rooted social, cultural, systemic, and economical issues. Femicide extends beyond individual acts of violence and encompasses a broader societal context where women are targeted and killed because of their gender.

Femicide can take various forms, including intimate partner violence, domestic abuse, honor killings, dowry-related killings, and targeted violence against women in conflict zones. These acts of violence not only result in the loss of individual lives but also have a profound impact on families, communities, and society as a whole.

There is evidence to suggest that high poverty rates can be strongly correlated with high femicide rates. Poverty often exacerbates existing societal inequalities, which can increase the risk of violence against women and girls.

In areas with high poverty rates, women may face significant challenges and vulnerabilities, including limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. This can increase their dependence on abusive partners or expose them to exploitative situations, making them more susceptible to violence and femicide.

Moreover, poverty can contribute to social disintegration, weak law enforcement, and limited access to justice, which hinders efforts to prevent and address femicide. Insufficient resources and inadequate support services can further perpetuate the cycle of violence.

While poverty is not the sole determinant of femicide, it can create conditions that heighten the risk for women and girls. Addressing poverty and improving socio-economic conditions are crucial in reducing femicide rates and achieving a more equitable society.

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has published reports that highlight the linkages between poverty and violence against women. These reports provide insightful data and analysis on the global occurrence of femicide and its underlying factors.

World Health Organization (WHO) Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence has examined the connection between poverty and intimate partner violence. While it focuses on domestic violence rather than femicide specifically, it sheds light on the broader relationship between poverty and violence against women.

In the book: "Poverty and Femicide: The Killing of Women based on Gender in Guatemala" by Li Andersson notes the correlation between poverty and femicide specifically in Guatemala.

In "Socioeconomic Inequality and Femicide: A Multilevel Analysis of 57 Countries" by Claire W. Edwards and others examines the association between poverty and femicide rates across multiple countries.

"Gender inequality, Femicide, and Poverty: Examining the Links" by Shireen J. Jejeebhoy establishes the relationship between poverty and femicide, drawing on global data and case studies.

When government policies are not well-informed or do not effectively address the underlying causes of multidimensional poverty, but instead worsen the causes, this can lead to an increase in femicide rates. When individuals and communities are pushed further into poverty, it can exacerbate existing social inequalities, including gender disparities, and make women and girls more vulnerable to violence.

The clueless policies of our dear "master strategist" which have not only fail to address the root causes of poverty, but have also worsen it, may inadvertently perpetuate domestic violence and hinder efforts to prevent femicide. It is important for governments to implement comprehensive and evidence-based policies that target poverty reduction, which our dear "master strategist" has already proven he's incapable of implementing. Therefore, women should brace themselves.

Calm down

I see nothing good in Tinubu's personality. But he is not responsible for your crazy urge or imagination to murder females. One man's evil does not justify another man's evil.

Tinubu has disappointed a lot of his supporters who thought by now that they will be bragging to the heavens

Bitter truth

Thanks for your concern. However, I'm not interested in murdering people, let alone females. I'm only educating people, especially women, about the strong correlation between poverty and femicide. Since INEC (s)elected president is bent on pushing more people into poverty, women should be aware that "shit may hit the fan".
As the saying goes: Prevention is better than cure.

Hmm....

Societies with high level of poverty tend to have high femicide rate.
If Tinubu continue to push more people into poverty, then femicide will also go high.

The danger of high poverty is the same for male and female.

Without Tinubu's emergence, gender based killings have always been on the high side. And for a society that fails in finding closure for murder victims, this your thread just feels like a waste of words, no offence intended.

Firstly, I take no offense in your comment.

Secondly, are you implying we shouldn't talk about gender-based killings because it has always been on the high? That's like saying: "people have always have cancer, so we shouldn't talk about preventing future cancers."

Thirdly, gender-based violence wasn't this high until Buhari and his APC Cohorts came to power, and push tens of million of people into poverty. Tinubu is part of the APC cohort, you know.

Lastly, seriously, do I really need to spell out my thread? It is pretty simple: Tinubu has nothing to offer, and will push more people into poverty. More people in poverty will lead to higher level of femicide. If women don't support femicide, then it would be nonsensical for them to support a person who is enacting policies which will increase poverty among citizens which could lead to high level of femicide.

Do you have credible data and factual stats to back up this claim with?

Obviously, you don't, it's your own personal opinion, mixed with prejudice, and petty and ignorant politics.

If you are going to make such claims, back it up with facts and credible polls and samplings with collected data, samples, and testimonies from victims and family members.

Confine this kind of yellow rubbish to your fellow ignorant and unintelligent anti Nigerian ipob gang.

I'd give you a proper response if only I have ideas what the heck you're ranting about. Dude, no offense, but I'm not sure you are okay.

You can't pass on your own baseless and non factual opinion as facts to deceive us.

I asked you to produce data and credible report that you based your claim on.

Producing that Data would have surficed instead of dodging like a coward.

In fact, it's on record that femicide is more prevalent in the SE than other parts of Nigeria.

Next time before you try to insult and rubbish other people, first look inside your own backyard for facts, records and evidence, your own women are mostly slaves that men use and abuse because they pay for women-like properties through exorbitant bride prices.

When you return, I have more tome show you..

Firstly, you should probably check yourself into a psychiatric clinic because your comments and my thread are so far apart it makes people question your mental state.

Secondly, last I check I didn't mention which region I come from. Why you assumed it is SE is what I don't understand, that probably has something to do with your mental health issues.

Lastly, all your rants doesn't change the fact that our dear master strategist is clueless and his policies will put women at risk.
