A Chinese influencer, who goes by the name 'Luo Xiao Mao Mao Zi, died after ingesting pesticide during a live stream on Douyin last Thursday (Oct 14). She was 25.

Although Luo was rushed to the hospital after the incident, doctors failed to save her and she passed away the next day. Before the live stream, Luo, who had more than 678,000 Douyin followers, shared a video saying that it was “probably [her] last video” and thanked her fans for their company.

In the clip, she revealed that she had been suffering from depression for a long time and was hospitalised for more than two months.

“I appear to be happy, but this is all for show. I hope everyone will be happy when they see my videos and will see that I am happy too. [But] I can’t hold on anymore,” she said.

Before the live stream, Luo, who had more than 678,000 Douyin followers, shared a video saying that it was “probably [her] last video” and thanked her fans for their company.

In the clip, she revealed that she had been suffering from depression for a long time and was hospitalised for more than two months.

“I appear to be happy, but this is all for show. I hope everyone will be happy when they see my videos and will see that I am happy too. [But] I can’t hold on anymore,” she said.

Though Luo had previously shared that she couldn’t let go of her ex-boyfriend and would sometimes feel depressed, her family said that he was not the reason she took her own life.

Instead, they blamed her death on the trolls who egged her on to drink the pesticide.

Screenshots showing Luo holding a bottle of pesticide while netizens encouraged her to drink it quickly have gone viral.

According to the Global Times, a netizen, who claimed to be Luo’s friend, told the media that the influencer did not plan to commit suicide, but had wanted to attract her ex-boyfriend’s attention.

The friend said that the pesticide was mixed with a beverage and Luo drank it because netizens were encouraging her to do so, adding that Luo called the police and ambulance herself after the live stream was over.

Luo's friends have said that her body has been cremated and they hope those who had indirectly caused her death would come forward to apologise.

The above video may be not extraordinary, but this case is a twisted one. And sad.

TL;DR: in the morning on 18th of April 2018, the villagers of a jungle hamlet Victoria Gracia (eastern Peru) heard shots. 81 yo Olivia Arevalo Lomas, a local shaman - one of the most respected ones in Peruvian Amazon - was laying dead outside her house. Even though people there didn't trust the authorities, someone called them. Before cops even started to do their job, the local chose their suspect - 41 yo Sebastian Paul Woodroffe, a man from Canada, having trips to this area on regular. Local men strangled him to death. He was later pointed out as a main suspect by the police, but as the lynching was against the law, police searched for a four suspects. At least half a year later, they haven't been found. Why he did it - if the police and locals were right, of course - is partially unknown. However, he was really interested in spirituality and unconventional methods of healing. Over the past few weeks, his mental state went on downward spiral - ending up in both his and his healer's death.

If you'd like to know more about the spirituality and healing part, check the CBC coverage in the sources section at the end. There's a really interesting (and long) article 'Descend into darkness' about Sebastian's mental state worsening.

Sections go as follows:

1. Murder - about the incident and how was the victim remembered. There's no gore apart from her body photo. Includes info about the place and the tribe, also a map.

2. Lynching and arrests - self-explaining. Video attached to the post is here, too, on different hosting (if it's not working for you), also Sebastian's body.

3. But why? - about Sebastian's 'descend into darkness'. That's a story about what happens if you do ayahuasca while you shouldn't due to mental health issues. One big wall of text for these who like reading my longer posts with long stories ;]



⠀MURDER :marseymagdump:

Comments on the place and people:

Victoria Gracia, a village of indigenous Shipibo-Conibo people, in the remote Ucayali region of northeastern Peru

[...] Olivia Arévalo, meanwhile, was not only a grandmother figure to the villagers of Victoria Gracia but also a spiritual matriarch to the Shipibo-Conibo people—one of the largest tribes in the Peruvian Amazon, with 20,000 members, concentrated around the Ucayali River. The descendant of a long line of healers, she knew some 500 herbal remedies and was, to the younger villagers, one of the last links to their dying tribal culture.

The murder took place on 18th of April 2018 (Thursday). Villagers reported that they've heard three shots. There were no direct witnesses, though.

Police had found her lifeless body beneath a coconut tree, with two bullet holes in her chest and three spent .380 ACP cartridges a few yards away. The villagers had been emphatic that the killer was the “gringo.” But Woodroffe was nowhere to be found.

The body and funeral:

It was posted on Twitter with the following comment:

The 2nd Provincial Corporate Criminal Prosecutor's Office of Yarinacocha reported that the weapon used to murder Olivia Arévalo was found this morning and would correspond to the same weapon purchased by Canadian citizen Sebastian Paul Wooldrooffe on April 3.

On YouTube channel Temple of the Way of Light, there are a few videos featuring Arevalo, as she worked for the temple from 2009 to 2011. Below, there are two videos of her singing an icaro:

In South American Indigenous culture, an icaro is a healing chant. Sung by a curandero, or shaman, it is said the icaro channels medicinal spirits.

How was she remembered:

She was one of the most respected and powerful Onanya – a plant medicine healer – of the Shipibo tribe. She brought the rich cultural and medicinal legacy of the Shipibo to the Temple and was affectionally referred to by many of us as a “living ancestor”; a record keeper of the Shipibo ways and a walking encyclopedia of traditional Shipibo plant medicine. We are blessed and honored to have worked so closely with her, to have experienced her powerful healing abilities and to have been touched by a heart so full of love and compassion.

My wife Klara and I, and every single member of the Temple [of the Way of Light] community, are deeply saddened and shocked by the recent news of Olivia's death. Olivia was in essence one of the founding healers of the Temple, the oldest healer that we have worked with, and was monumental in seeding the healing work that we carry out to this day. She was an overwhelmingly sweet, gentle, fun, and loving woman who had the laughter of a child yet radiated an inconceivable level of wisdom that we will never forget. [...]

Olivia was buried on 22nd of April 2018. Her death was covered by many international and local news agencies. It shook not only the Peruvian community itself, but also the human rights activism one - as Olivia was advocating for the native people rights.

After viewing the clip, officers returned to Victoria Gracia, where they discovered Woodroffe's body about 700 yards from the village. Wrapped in a blue sheet, he had been buried hastily in a two-foot grave. His face was swollen. His body was purple with bruises. His clothes were coated in dirt and dried blood.

On 23rd of April 2018 (Monday), the judge ordered the arrests of two men involved in the lynching. Their identities were known, but not publicly mentioned. In the meanwhile, the investigators were figuring out who else took part in the mob killing. The news are vague when it comes to the arrest. There are news from both late April and early May 2018 stating that the suspects were arrested, but also that they're still on the run.

In the first days of May 2018, the investigators officially identified Sebastian as a main suspect.

Authorities say they found a document showing that Woodroffe bought a gun on April 3 from a police officer, according to Ricardo Jimenez, head of public prosecutors in Ucayali.

Jiminez also said a witness testified that a silver-coloured pistol fell from a backpack Woodroffe was carrying as locals of the remote Amazonian village grabbed him before the lynching.

Other evidence:

Bullet cartridges found near the body of Olivia Arevalo Lomas were traced back to a gun the 41-year-old B.C. man had purchased earlier in April, and gunpowder was found on his clothes, according to Ricardo Jimenez, chief prosecutor in the remote Ucayali province.

At least six months after the murders, the four suspects were still hiding.

[...] Carlos Vilcahuamán, the district prosecutor in Pucallpa charged with overseeing the investigation, told me that he was frustrated that the four suspects in Woodroffe's lynching, as identified in the grainy Facebook video, hadn't been apprehended. “They're still hiding in the jungle,” he said. His consolation was that he was sure of who'd killed Olivia Arévalo. “All the evidence points to Woodroffe firing those shots that day.”



⠀BUT WHY? :marseytears:

Both the more spiritual or personal scenarios and the more mundane ones were known since the beginning of the investigation.

Woodroffe had been Arevalo's patient and her family claims he killed her because she refused to conduct a ritual in which the hallucinogenic Amazonian plant brew ayahuasca is used for healing and spiritual growth, said Jimenez.

Authorities are exploring several hypotheses related to Arevalo's murder, including one in which another foreigner might have killed her over an unpaid debt, Jimenez said.

I will mostly stick to the quotes in this section of the post.

Steve Ellis, Woodroffe's ex-brother-in-law, recalled turning him on to ayahuasca after attending a ceremony in Whistler, B.C.

"I was interested in physics, quantum mechanics, atoms, energy, crystals," Ellis said. It was after connecting with a community of "open-minded individuals" that Ellis had his first ayahuasca experience. "It was a really scary and profound life-changing experience. I shared [the details] with Sebastian, and he was really interested in it."

By 2013, Woodroffe's fascination with Indigenous culture, plant medicines and ayahuasca — coupled with an intervention for a family member struggling with alcohol — led him to a life-changing decision.

"I've decided to leave my current career behind and in September 2014, I am starting school, beginning a 6 year process to become an addictions counsellor," he declared in an IndieGoGo appeal.

His first step on this new career path was to start a crowd-funding campaign to raise money so he could study plant medicine and take ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon.

In September 2014, Sebastian travelled to the Peruvian jungle city of Iquitos. He wanted to study under ayahuasca shaman Guillermo Arévalo (one of Olivia Arévalo's cousins). Guillermo recalled that Woodroffe was a good person, although one struggling with trauma. He didn't want to elaborate. After this trip, Woodroffe's desire to study the ayahuasca rituals more was only stronger. Over the next three years, Sebastian made several more trips to Peru, but also was taking part in illegal ceremonies near his hometown - specifically, in Comox (British Columbia).

Ayahuasca is a dark tea derived from mixing a leaf and a vine. The leaf, Psychotria viridis, contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Taken by itself, the leaf is benign, because enzymes in the stomach neutralize the DMT. But the Shipibo figured out hundreds of years ago that when the leaf is boiled down with the ayahuasca vine, Banisteriopsis caapi, it blocks those stomach enzymes, and creates a potent psychedelic brew.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/1702867946513856.webp https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/17028679479273725.webp

In 2016 and 2017, Sebastian's posts on Facebook became more worrying. He claimed that he feels lonely and low, and want to be with friends. Scott Anderson, author of the 'Descent into darkness' article, managed to talk to some of the Sebastian's acquaintances. Some were pointing out that Sebastian was struggling after breaking up with his girlfriend (and being a single father again). Others claimed that his trips to Peru were causing problems. Matthew Bremner, another journalist, spoke to one of Sebastian's friends, who wanted to stay anonymous.

[...] said that Woodroffe was indeed charming and essentially a good person. “He looked after me on many occasions,” the person said. But, beneath the surface, he also had a temper and could be volatile and obsessive. Ayahuasca changed him, the person seemed sure. He started dieting constantly—not consuming salts or sugars—and lost a lot of weight. “I could see how he could get himself into a lot of trouble in Peru and not back down if he felt he was right,” the person added.

After Sebastian's father, Gary, advised his son to seek professional help, Sebastian was only more withdrawing.

What worried Woodroffe's family most was when they lost track of his whereabouts, only to learn that he was back in Peru.

On July 26, 2017, Woodroffe posted on Facebook: "Anyone like to see me. Feeling low. Reaching out." He appeared to be back in B.C.

But that summer, Woodroffe turned up in Pucallpa. A young American who would not give his real name but goes by Daniel Love recalled seeing Woodroffe walk into a café popular with expats.

Love, who was building his own jungle retreat in Peru at the time, said he saw Woodroffe have a strange conversation with one of his friends.

"As [Woodroffe] left, my friend came up to me and asked me, 'Do you know that guy?' And I said, 'Not really, I've just seen him today in the café,'" Love recalled.

To which Love's friend responded, "'Well, he just asked me for a gun.'"

According to the people knowing Sebastian, he would never kill someone, didn't want to own a gun or even wasn't interested in them. They didn't believe that he'd want to obtain one, and someone called it being '100% out of [his] character'. Well, a known pattern in some murder stories. 'A good lad, [always] telling his neighbours 'Good morning' on a staircase' as we'd say in Polish. Or dindunuffin, as you'd say on WPD.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/17028700107287045.webp

In December 2017, two weeks before Christmas, Sebastian was heading back to Peru.

Woodroffe arrived in Lima on Dec. 15 and almost immediately ran into difficulty. He reported that his passport was stolen. Then he was involved in a collision in Lima while driving a rental car. While they waited for the police to arrive, Woodroffe and the driver of the other vehicle used their phones to communicate using an online translator.

The man thought Woodroffe had asked him if he knew where he could get a gun. The man thought the translator had interpreted incorrectly, or that he'd misunderstood. He responded by saying, "I don't know," and Woodroffe told him not to worry about it.

When he finally arrived in Pucallpa, Woodroffe sought out a taxi driver to act as a translator and help him locate the famous shaman Olivia Arevalo. He eventually found Herbert Ravelio, who drove him around town until someone was able to tell them where precisely Arevalo lived.


⠀AND JUST HERE STARTS THE PART INVOLVING AREVALO :marseyitsover:

Through a translator, Sebastian asked Arevalo if she can help him and his family. She replied that she can, if he has faith. He claimed that he needs to contact his family. Since Sebastian returned to Victoria Gracia, things started to become tense. He insisted on Arevalo taking ayahuasca with him. However, she refused, and the village's mayor claimed that she hadn't taken ayahuasca in years. He appeared to be obsessed with Arevalo family, and started to behave aggressively and suspiciously.

"He wasn't a normal person," said Linares [the mayor]. "Some neighbours found him prowling around there in the darkness. What was he trying to do?"

According to multiple accounts, Woodroffe turned up in the hamlet one night during a healing ceremony wanting to speak to Arevalo's son Julian. Woodroffe was reportedly carrying a long club, and was initially turned away from the lodge. He tried to sneak back, and apparently struck the man guarding the ceremony. Some villagers pursued Woodroffe, but other locals intervened to stop him from being seriously hurt, and ended up taking him to the police.

Linares said community members took Woodroffe to the police on three separate occasions. But local police have no record of this.

His family was worried when Sebastian failed to check in over Christmas and New Year's Eve. Two days later, on 5th of January 2018, he confirmed on Facebook that he's alive. Sebastian left Peru on 12th of January. Instead of a family home, he lived in his RV (recreational vehicle). His posts on Facebook shown that he feels alone and lost about what to do next.

Gary Woodroffe said that each trip to Peru "seemed to close him off to us."

"He wouldn't talk about what he did on the trips, and he wouldn't talk about a lot of things that went on ... I implored him, I asked him many times ... 'Hey, let's sit down, talk about this, see where you're going, see what you want to do.' And he would put it off."

Woodroffe seemed consumed by internal conflict. "Whose [sic] going to Peru. I have lots of peruvian money to sell," he posted on Facebook at the beginning of March, suggesting he might be done with the place.

On 11th of March, he wrote an incoherent FB post: 'i am.off to jungle.to.do some.sould searchin and fix the mind. see you whence.i am healed fml. part 4.'. Family tried to ask him whether he's sure that the jungle trips are helping him. Olivia Arevalo's cousin Guillermo Arevalo claimed that Woodroffe told him that he's bipolar and needs help.

On 14th of March, Woodroffe was back in Pucallpa, but this time he was living in a succession of low-rent rooms in the hamlets around the city. It's not known if he was seeking mental help. 13 days after the arrival, he wrote on FB: 'i am feeling better day by day in peru. so thankful to be sitting with good peeps', and in a reply: 'I am leaving the place I am at due to a tribal disagreement.'.

Looking back now, the final weeks of Woodroffe's life seem dramatic and frantic. He was paranoid, and a darkness seemed to be blocking out his healing spirit.

In the morning of 30th of March, Woodroffe entered a police station in Pucallpa, declaring that he wants to buy a gun. He eventually contacted with Glauco Utia, a 25 yo police officer on duty that day. Using Google Translate, they communicated, and according to Utia's statement, Sebastian wanted to buy a gun 'because he was going into the jungle and wanted protection from animals'. He had 5,000 soles (about $2,000 Cdn) to spend, and Utia agreed to sell him a 9mm Taurus pistol. Nobody else but Utia claimed that he needed a gun for a jungle trip - but if not for that use, why would Woodroffe need a gun for protection?

He claimed on FB that he wouldn't take ayahuasca this time, but it was unknown whether he was sticking to his diet. It is a part of a local spiritual cleansing rituals, but if done outside a supervision of a shaman, it can lead to malnutrition and some mental disturbances. On 1st of April, Sebastian wrote on FB: 'eating street meet [sic] in peru up till this point has been no problem

.until now. shitting in jungle day 3.'.

Over the next few days, he managed to obtain the gun, even though he had no license. On 5th of April, Sebastian wrote on FB: 'Not enjoying life right. Having a rough go. please send me prayers...'. On 10th of April, Sebastian arrived at the airport in Pucallpa, claiming that he wants to contact Arevalo later that day and needs a taxi driver who speaks English. He changed these plans, though, as he found another shaman who was speaking English.

His posts on FB back then were rather positive, suggesting that he's looking forward to the future. Things changed quickly. On 14th of April, at night, Sebastian showed up at the police station in Yarinacocha (outskirts of Pucallpa) with Herbert Ravelio, the mentioned taxi driver. He claimed that he was robbed - not a first time in Peru when Sebastian claimed he lost his passport and mobile phone. If he was carrying his 9mm Taurus that day, he must have it concealed.

Woodroffe was up early on the morning of April 19. One of his housemates said he saw him leave on the motorcycle at 7 a.m. Another saw him leave again at 10:30 a.m. Woodroffe was carrying his backpack and allegedly told the landlord's son that he was going to take ayahuasca.

He arrived in Victoria Gracia just before midday, and stopped outside of Olivia Arevalo's house. Witnesses say Woodroffe called out for Julian Arevalo through the windows. Woodroffe shot the gun into the air. Julian Arevalo allegedly ran out the back of the house. Around the same time, Olivia came out to speak to Woodroffe.

And what happened next, you've seen in the beginning of this post. Why exactly he wanted to speak with Olivia that day is still unknown.

(Dead nude women warning) Women murdered by their intimate partners -WPD EXCLUSIVE - Crime scene and morgue photographs -

The information in the video and in the text below do not cover "honor killings" or "dowry deaths" those I might cover in a future post but did not want to put them under the same umbrella as what is covered here, because both honor killings and dowry deaths have the added elements of culture and religion to blame


Of the estimated 4,970 female victims of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in 2021, data reported by law enforcement agencies indicate that 34% were killed by an intimate partner (figure 1). By comparison, about 6% of the 17,970 males murdered that year were victims of intimate partner homicide.

Overall, 76% of female murders and 56% of male murders were perpetrated by someone known to the victim. About 16% of female murder victims were killed by a nonintimate family member—parent, grandparent, sibling, in-law, and other family member—compared to 10% of male murder victims.

A larger percentage of males (21%) were murdered by a stranger than females (12%). For 1 out of every 3 male murder victims and 1 out of every 5 female murder victims, the relationship between the victim and the offender was unknown.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/17032738603558385.webp


Mythology

The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is a data collection system designed and maintained by the FBI that compiles data on all crimes recorded by participating state and local law enforcement agencies. NIBRS captures extensive information on each incident known to law enforcement. The NIBRS database collects detailed information on 52 different offenses that can occur within a crime incident and collects arrest-only information for an additional 10 offenses.1 In 2021, national estimates of crime were based on data received from about 11,790 of the 18,800 law enforcement agencies in the United States, representing approximately 65% of the U.S. population. (See BJS's National Incident-Based Reporting System page and the FBI's Crime Data Explorer for more information.)


Definitions

Murder

Murder is composed of the two homicide categories: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter. The FBI defines murder and nonnegligent manslaughter as “The willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another.”2 Attempted murders, accidental deaths, suicides, and traffic fatalities are not to be coded as murders in NIBRS. In addition, felony murder or situations where a victim dies of another cause (such as a heart attack) because of a crime being committed against them should not be classified as a murder.

Relationship of victim to alleged offender

The relationship of the victim to the alleged offender(s) is based on the NIBRS Relationship(s) of Victim to Offender(s) data element, which includes 27 distinct relationship types. For this analysis, the relationship types were aggregated into six categories, detailed below:

Intimate partner—includes Victim Was Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Victim Was Common-Law Spouse, Victim Was Spouse, Victim Was Ex-Relationship (Ex-Boyfriend/Girlfriend), and Victim Was Ex-Spouse

Nonintimate family—includes Victim Was Child, Victim Was Grandchild, Victim Was Grandparent, Victim Was In-law, Victim Was Other Family Member, Victim Was Parent, Victim Was Sibling, Victim Was Stepchild, Victim Was Stepparent, and Victim Was Stepsibling

Friend or other known person—includes Victim Was Acquaintance, Victim Was Babysitter, Victim Was Child of Boyfriend or Girlfriend, Victim Was Employee, Victim Was Employer, Victim Was Friend, Victim Was Neighbor, and Victim Was Otherwise Known

Stranger—includes Victim Was Stranger

Victim was offender—includes Victim Was Offender; this relationship type is used to denote when a participant in a crime incident was both a victim and an offender, such as domestic disputes or bar fights where two or more persons were identified as participating

Unknown relationship—includes Relationship Unknown

The relationship category Victim Was Offender is not included in this report. Less than 2% of murders and nonnegligent manslaughters in 2021 were estimated to include this type of relationship.

Despite making up only 15% of the female population, African American women and girls accounted for nearly 34.6% of missing women in 2021, according to the National Crime Information Center. By the year's close, 14,323 Black women and girls were still missing. And their cases drag on four times longer than average, according to the task force report

Globally

In 2022, around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members (including fathers, mothers, uncles and brothers). This means that, on average, more than 133 women or girls are killed every day by someone in their own family. Current and former intimate partners are by far the most likely perpetrators of femicide, accounting for an average of 55 per cent of all intimate partner and family related killings.

This year recorded the highest number of total intentional female homicides, indicating that the world is failing to stop deaths that could be prevented through early intervention, gender-responsive policing and justice, and access to survivor-centred support and protection.

Like all forms of gender-based violence against women and girls, femicide is a problem that affects every country and territory across the globe. According to the new report, in 2022, Africa recorded the largest absolute number of female intimate partner and family related killings with an estimated 20,000 victims; followed by 18,400 in Asia; 7,900 in the Americas; 2,300 in Europe; and 200 in Oceania.

Adjusted for total population size, the available data shows that, in 2022, 2.8 women and girls per 100,000 were killed by an intimate partner or family member in Africa; compared with 1.5 in the Americas; 1.1 in Oceania; 0.8 in Asia; and 0.6 in Europe.

While the numbers presented in the report are alarmingly high, they are the tip of the iceberg. Too many victims of femicide still go uncounted: for roughly four in ten intentional murders of women and girls, there is not enough information to identify them as gender-related killings because of national variation in criminal justice recording and investigation practices.

In many cases, only gender related killings perpetrated by an intimate partner or family member are counted as femicides—yet we know that gender-related killings take place in many contexts beyond the private sphere. They can be related to rape or sexual violence by someone unknown to the victim; linked to harmful practices such as female genital mutilation or so-called honor killings; a result of hate crimes linked to sexual orientation or gender identity; or connected with armed conflict, gangs, human trafficking and other forms of organized crime.

Ensuring the availability of comprehensive disaggregated data is critical to strengthening femicide prevention, protection and response measures, as well as access to justice. To help move beyond the current limitations in data collection, UNODC and UN Women developed the statistical framework for measuring the gender-related killing of women and girls (“femicide/feminicide”), approved by the United Nation's Statistical Commission in March 2022.

There continue to be significant limitations in data and information on gender-related killings of certain groups of women and girls. Women in the public eye, including those in politics, women human rights defenders and journalists are often targets of intentional acts of violence, both online and offline, with some leading to fatal outcomes and intentional killings.

Despite data limitations, the available evidence from Canada and Australia suggest that indigenous women are disproportionately affected by gender related killings. At 4.3 per 100,000 women and girls, the rate of female homicide in Canada was five times higher among indigenous than among non-indigenous women and girls in 2021.

To prevent femicide, it is crucial that national authorities record comprehensive data on victims. By identifying women and girls at greater risk, countries can better inform prevention and protection mechanisms.

Gender-related killings and other forms of violence against women and girls are not inevitable. They can and must be prevented through primary prevention initiatives focused on transforming harmful social norms and engaging whole communities and societies to create zero tolerance for violence against women. Early intervention and risk assessment, access to survivor-centered support and protection as well as gender-responsive policing and justice services are key to ending gender-related killings of women and girls.

One innovative practice with the potential to enhance necessary reforms are in-depth multi-stakeholder reviews of gender-related killings of women and girls. These often involve families and social networks of victims, with the aim of improving institutional responses and preventing future killings.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, the Family Violence Death Review Committee conducted in-depth reviews of family violence-related killings to better understand the context, help-seeking behavior, and agency responses. The Committee recorded 320 family violence deaths between 2009 and 2020, of which 178 (56 percent) were women and girls. The Committee's findings showed that the most vulnerable—Māori, women, children and people with disabilities—are often unfairly assigned responsibility for their circumstances from the way they are portrayed in case records, their interactions with case workers, or the inadequate responsiveness of agencies. To address these issues, the committee recommended agencies should adjust their approach to draw from the methods used by Kaupapa Māori organizations. This more respectful approach focuses on well-being and involves training of service providers, shifting the focus to the entire family to break the silence of violence and shifting the status quo and norms of institutions so that initiatives are responsive to the needs of families.

More research is required to better understand what is driving increased femicide in certain contexts, and what factors have enabled decreases in others to better inform prevention strategies.
