Homicide Report: Relationship Abuse in Minnesota

From VFMN.org/reports

For over 30 years, the Coalition has provided annual documentation on domestic violence homicide in Minnesota. Formerly known as the “Femicide Report,” the Homicide Report: Relationship Abuse in Minnesota has changed its tone, purpose, and criteria over the decades. One thing that has remained consistent is the attempt to document every woman killed by a current or former intimate partner, as well as victims who were murdered while being stalked, engaging in sex work or used in prostitution and/or sex trafficking.

No state or federal agency collects comprehensive data on domestic violence or intimate partner homicides.

Violence Free Minnesota relies on public information and news accounts for data collection. The murders of people of color, Native women and two-spirit people, those living in poverty, rural victims and children, members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community – particularly transgender women of color, people who engage in sex work, and women and children used in prostitution and sex trafficking may be underrepresented in our report as they often go unreported in mainstream media.
