Fucking Y-I-K-E-S. Btw just noticed a ton of articles posted in the last few weeks about how the rate of murder for trans women is up from last year. Its 32 for this year btw I think last year was 28. Murder is always terrible and awful but how many women are killed in a year due to domestic violence alone? Its difficult for me to even find a number let alone countless articles crying for justice. What is an epidemic is is the amount of young women looking to transition with their peers. Biden will just parrot what the party tells him so I shouldn't be so disgusted but I just am.

In recent years, an average 8-9 female people are killed by homicide every day in the US. Annual total in recent years has hovered around 3,200.

In 2016, the number of female homicide victims was 3,208.

Thank you for this compilation. It is difficult to find these stats anywhere else.

FBI puts out the stats every year in charts that are easy to read and easy to find. There are 30 years worth of homicide data online, going back to 1980.

The Justice Dept also has tools that make it super easy to search through the homicide data going back to 1980 called "Easy Access to the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Reports: 1980-2018"

And to search domestic violence data through 2016. The stats in this one needs updating, but the options for searching are terrific.
