The latest UN figures show that 137 women across the world are killed every day by a partner or member of their own family – a total of 50,000 women a year murdered by people they know and should be able to trust.

That means it's happening to about 0.0013% of the world's female population every year. That's exceedingly rare.

Also, the rate of this type of violence differs between the races. It's rarest among Whites and East Asians.

Women are more likely to be killed by a family member or domestic partner than anyone else.

That's because they're around family members and domestic partners far more than they are around anyone else. What you're not taking into account is all of the violence that would befall women if husbands and male family members weren't there protecting them, which far outweighs the violence that said husbands/family members are perpetrating.

Whether it's fathers or husbands or police or soldiers, at the end of the day, only men can protect women from men. The most trustworthy men for the job, and the most effective (due to quick response time to threats), are husbands and male family members.

That's hilarious. Only men can protect women from men? Men are the threat. Also this:

The most trustworthy men for the job, and the most effective (due to quick response time to threats), are husbands and male family members.

is a blatant lie.

Certain men are a threat and certain other men are the protectors from that threat.

Don't be disingenuous. The threat is almost 100% male. You're a fool, and clearly a man. Male relatives and partners are more of a threat than random males, they are by no means "protectors" of women.

Yeah the police really love protecting women, with that 40%+ domestic violence rate and the abysmally low prosecution rate of rapists. Stranger danger is a lie. The vast majority of men who do harm to women are their spouses and acquaintances, and there are endless studies and statistics that bear this out. Men commit 80% of violent crime. They are NOT our protectors and they are NOT defending us.

The point is that it's mostly romantic partners or family members that are killing women.
