25 November marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. According to Police Crime Statistics (PKS), around 120,000 women in Germany are affected by violence from their partners or ex-partners every year. Approximately 120 women are killed by their partners or ex-partners annually, while a further 300 women escape attempted homicide (often with serious injuries). Consequently, comparisons made by some men’s networks regarding gender-based violence by women against their partners seem almost reflexive; they suffer from the fact that violence by men against their female partners is compared to violence by women against their partners without reflection. This masculinist movement ignores the fact that, above all, the intensity of physical violence remains a male domain.
