Domestic settings remain perilous for many women around the globe. A UN report highlights that 140 women and girls are killed daily by intimate partners or family members—making the home the deadliest place for women . Digital abuse is on the rise: in New South Wales, 60 % of coercive-control cases now involve spyware, GPS trackers, cameras—even leveraging children’s devices—fueling a 700 % surge in demand for domestic violence legal aid . In the UK and Australia, families testify to systemic failures: parole boards releasing perpetrators early, understaffed police forces mishandling gendered violence, and underfunded services collectively exacerbating risk in private spaces . Additionally, studies underscore how environmental stressors—such as extreme heat exacerbated by climate change—fuel a worrying uptick in domestic violence, particularly across South Asia.
