For comparison, the figure in France for 2021 was 113. France pop.=67.39 million; TR pop.=84.34 million. The rate is too high in France. It's way too high in Turkey. (The right number, of course, is zero.)

2018 World Bank Data, though, shows France and Turkey with similar rates of femicide: data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.I…
France=.07 per 100,000; TR=.09.

Countries with zero murders of women per annum, according the World Bank's most recent data: Bermuda,
Monaco, St. Kitts and Nevis,Sao Tome and Principe,
San Marino, Cayman Islands, Dominica,
British Virgin Islands, Liechtenstein, Turks and Caicos,
Andorra, and Aruba.

But since these are micro-states, that's obviously a statistical artefact. Interestingly, the next-safest places for women, at 0.1 femicides per year, are Oman and West Bank & Gaza. After that, at 0.3 per year, are Singapore, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Macau, Norway, and Qatar.

France, at .07 (as of 2018), was on par with the UK and Myanmar. (This suggests to me the data is not robust, given that a genocide was underway in Myanmar.) Turkey, at .09, was on par with Canada, Portugal, and Germany.

Most femicides per 100,000 in 2018, according to the World Bank? El Salvador (13.8), Antigua and Barbuda (11.2), Jamaica (10.9), Venezuela (10.7), Central African Republic (10.6), and South Africa (9.1).

I don't trust this data--the data for Myanmar just can't be right--but to the extent that it's accurate, it's surprising. data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.I…

Now, however, consider the category of "International homicides." Using the same World Bank data, we find that 1.7 per 100,000 men in France were murdered in 2018;
data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.I…

And in Turkey, the number was 4.3--more than *four times* the figure for femicide. The same countries that suffered no femicides suffered no homicides; again, likely a statistical artefact: less people, less murder. The figure for West Bank and Gaza is 0.6;

for El Salvador, an unbelievable 115.9.
United States: 7.8.

Everywhere in the world, according to this data and every other data set I've seen, you're more likely to be murdered if you're a man than a woman.
