Statistics on Intimate Partner Homicides, Gender Classification Essential: We Need to Recognize ‘Gender-Based Violence’

this interview is originally in Korean, it’s been MTL and edited here. I can’t say it’s going to be exact so I wouldn’t rely on this as a 1:1 especially since I think some of these translators ‘summarize’ paragraphs sometimes, but I think the statistics are worth looking at and those should be understandable. if you happen to see anything glaringly wrong lmk and I’ll edit it. It’s pretty long in terms of tumblr posts so I put most of it under a cut. To 'you' who still blames the victim

Police, the first statistics of last year… 24% of all murder cases

There is no gender distinction, so the risk of women is impossible to understand.

Intimate partner violence and homicides occasionally make headlines, but the exact scale of the problem is still not well understood in South Korea. Last year, the police began gathering data on the number of homicides stemming from intimate relationships for the first time. In 2023, the suspects in homicide cases (including attempted murder) totaled 778. Of these, 192 people (24.6%) committed their crimes against a current or former spouse, romantic partner, or common-law spouse. This was the first time the police had identified the scale of homicides resulting from "intimate relationships."

However, it is still difficult to grasp how much danger women face from intimate partner violence because the statistics did not differentiate by gender. Hyo-jung Kim, a research fellow at the Korean Women's Development Institute, noted, “According to data from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, while the majority of homicide victims are men, when the perpetrator is narrowed to an intimate partner, over 80% of the victims are women.” She emphasized, “This is ‘gendered crime.’” Sun-hye Choi, Secretary-General of Korea Women’s Hotline, added, “The police left out the most crucial part: gender, releasing only half of the necessary statistics.” Both Kim and Choi were interviewed for this article.

The Importance of Last Year’s Statistics

Kim Hyo-jung: The fact that the police even attempted to check for previous victimization shows that they put in some effort. However, considering the effort put in, the results are too inadequate. There are no gendered statistics, and there’s no essential information on whether it was compound victimization or exclusively checked.

Choi Sun-hye: I’m not sure if the police had a clear purpose for collecting these statistics. The police need to figure out at which stage they missed something when someone is killed, and where they failed to detect warning signs. From the initial report to the end, they must track what went wrong—whether it was with the investigation or with legal and institutional limitations.

Korea Women’s Hotline (twitter acct) has been independently analyzing incidents based on media reports since 2009 and has published the “Gauge of Fury” statistics for 15 years. According to their data, at least 138 women were killed by intimate male partners in 2023, and at least 311 women experienced threats.

Kim Hyo-jung: The "Gauge of Fury" is a result of painstakingly analyzing reported homicide cases one by one. Since unreported incidents are excluded, this number can only be considered an underestimate. If the government was committed, they could easily conduct a full investigation into the 800 or so homicides that occur annually to determine how many women are victims. When talking about preventing and responding to gender-based violence, the most fundamental thing to build is statistics. To solve any problem, you must first understand the actual situation and current conditions. The UN and international organizations also stress this importance and call for basic gender-disaggregated statistics.

Kim also participated in compiling the 2022 statistics on violence against women.

Kim Hyo-jung: The 2022 statistics on violence against women are significant because they consolidated various statistics scattered across the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, organizing them into categories like crime occurrences, victim protection, and support. However, the problem is that discussions haven’t moved on to the next stage. For example, there are housing support systems for victims of sexual and domestic violence, but there are no precise statistics on how much housing support is provided to victims of gender-based violence. The next step should be producing such data. Some statistics are being generated, but they are not gender-disaggregated, which makes them less meaningful. The conversation should now move towards generating gender-disaggregated statistics. However, we are not progressing in that direction.

There are criticisms that intimate partner violence and homicides are treated as less important than other crimes.

Choi Sun-hye: So many women are dying, yet there is no sense of urgency. Even though women’s organizations have been saying for over 10 years that women are dying, with some stating that one woman dies every two days, society doesn’t seem to view it as important.

Kim Hyo-jung: If a child doesn’t show up to school, the Ministry of Education immediately conducts a full investigation. Last summer, when there was a series of random violent crimes, the police even deployed tanks. But when so many women are being killed, and the issue is constantly being raised, it’s shocking that there’s such little movement in response.

Recognizing Gender-Based Violence as a Structural Problem

Choi Sun-hye: There seems to be strong resistance to seeing violence in intimate relationships as a structural issue. When an intimate partner violence case occurs, the perpetrator is often treated as an abnormal or troubled individual, and the victim is criticized for not seeking help from the authorities. The narrative becomes "Oh, another man killed someone,” turning it into a case of personal blame where the individual is demonized, and the story ends there. We need to discuss these cases as structural issues to avoid turning them into gender battles.

Kim Hyo-jung: If there were a social consensus around the concept of "gender-based violence," even if there were setbacks, we could continue progressing in that direction. But Korean society doesn’t accept that. It fundamentally refuses to recognize that there is structural gender inequality. That leads to the issue becoming individualized and fragmented, turning the perpetrator into a demonized figure. Korea already has the institutions in place. In fact, the sexual crime response system here is so well-developed that people from abroad come to learn about it. The problem is the "perspective." There are countless response plans from various ministries, but when you examine them, there’s no national gender perspective. Without an understanding of gender-based violence, there is fear of countercharges. The fact that we still hear nonsensical questions like, “Why do we have a Ministry of Gender Equality and Family but not a Ministry of Men and Family?” reflects this.

This lack of perspective is greatly influenced by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family’s ambiguous position. When the ministry outlined countermeasures against intimate partner violence in June, I thought, “They’ve brought out everything they can, even from their limited resources.” They presented everything they could, but the fact is, they don’t have the authority to do more.

The Importance of Investigators’ Perspective on Crime

Choi Sun-hye: Investigators need to have a higher level of awareness than the general public. The biggest issue arises when their awareness is lower than the victim's. If investigators tell a victim, “You should have been clearer about your refusal at that time,” it can be difficult for a victim, who may lack legal knowledge, to assess how dangerous their situation is. Investigators, with their experience, should be able to tell victims, “You are in a very dangerous situation and need support.”

Calls for harsher penalties for crimes committed in intimate relationships.

Kim Hyo-jung: The case in Geoje, for instance, if it hadn’t come to light, would likely have been classified as involuntary manslaughter. It wouldn’t have been recognized as a homicide case. There’s talk of increasing penalties, but crimes between strangers should at least be punished to the same degree. In cases of domestic violence, if they are treated as family protection cases, there’s no criminal record. Offenders may receive a deferred prosecution on the condition they attend counseling, and if the victim says they don’t want punishment, it’s usually accepted. This approach only applies to violence in intimate relationships. The Domestic Violence Punishment Act should prioritize victim protection and safety above family protection, starting with its purpose clause, but that’s not happening.

Views on Legislation Regarding Intimate Partner Violence Vary

Choi Sun-hye: The easiest way is to simply expand the scope of the Domestic Violence Punishment Act. That’s why such amendment bills are being discussed. However, the first priority should be improving the parts of the Domestic Violence Punishment Act that are not working properly. Moreover, laws are too fragmented. There’s the Domestic Violence Punishment Act, the Stalking Punishment Act, etc. These divisions can confuse field officers when deciding on emergency measures due to overlap. We need a comprehensive approach to address both the issue of inadequate penalties for violence due to intimacy and the need for victim protection during investigations and trials. We should think about how to legally define intimate partner violence within that framework.

Kim Hyo-jung: Although overcoming the strong perception that “families must be protected” is difficult, the purpose clause of the Domestic Violence Punishment Act must be entirely revised. However, that will take time, and addressing intimate partner violence is urgent, so we should start by regulating it within the law and eliminating the provision allowing victims to request non-punishment. While doing that, we can also discuss revising the law entirely. There are many ways to approach this issue, but it seems like people are overly cautious about addressing it head-on.

Re: Defining Intimate Relationships

Kim Hyo-jung: It’s really a problem. People argue that intimate relationships are private matters, and that defining them is difficult because they’re personal and internal. But other countries do define them. In the UK, an intimate relationship is defined as being with someone you’re close to, and this concept is embedded in their homicide laws. If we don’t start discussing how to legally define intimate partner violence soon, it will take years before any legislation is passed.

The Law Fails to Cross the Threshold of the Home Due to Dated Beliefs

This belief persists because criminal justice agencies prioritize convenience and fail to see things from the victim's perspective. As a result, the legal system doesn't go beyond distinguishing between legal and common-law marriages.

70,000 Reports - 12,000 Arrests - 1.8% Incarceration Rate

The number of reports related to dating violence continues to rise, but the number of arrests is far below the number of reports. The rate of judicial action is even lower.

Choi Sun-hye: As of 2022, there were 70,000 reports of dating violence to the 112 emergency line, but only 12,000 people were arrested, a significant drop. This is because in cases involving assault, injury, threats, etc., many victims express a desire not to punish the perpetrator. While the majority of victims are women, many cases get entangled in mutual accusations. Looking at the judicial process, the incarceration rate is only 1.8%. For domestic violence, the rate is 3.6%; for sexual violence, 3.6%; and for stalking, 3.7%. If only about 4% of arrests result in incarceration, who would want to report the crime? Victims report only when they believe in the social system, when they believe the system will protect them and alleviate their fear of the perpetrator, and when they believe that the perpetrator will not be able to retaliate against them. From this, we can understand why many do not report.

“Why didn’t you leave?” People still ask the victim.

Kim Hyo-jung: There’s a growing recognition that domestic violence is a crime. When a victim stays in the relationship and problems arise, people understand that there may have been complex issues, such as children being involved. In contrast, victims of dating violence are still asked, “Why didn’t you break up?” This shows a lack of understanding that, in the context of gender-based violence, the perpetrator and the victim are not in an equal relationship. As early as the 2000s, women-centered communities were already talking about "safe breakups." Victims are aware that they are in a structure where it’s difficult to make demands.

A “tough response to crime” is often listed as a policy that Gen 2030 (women in their 20s?) women want. “How can I have a relationship and marriage when I could die?”

Kim Hyo-jung: One of the main causes of the ultra-low birthrate, according to demographers and sociologists, is social inequality. Gender equality is a crucial key to solving these demographic problems. A society where violence against women occurs and misogyny is rampant can never be a gender-equal society. The fear of becoming a victim of crime is gendered. The fact that women are more fearful of crime is a significant indicator that the society is not gender-equal. It is very reasonable to connect the issue of gender-based violence with the ultra-low birthrate problem. Establishing a solid understanding of gender-based violence is the starting point. Instead of patching up leaks one at a time, we need to start by setting the right perspective and building a structural framework to address the problem.

The World Economic Forum Says It Will ‘Accelerate’ Implementation of Globalist Agenda 2030

World leaders will be gathering together later this year to “accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2030,” according to an announcement made by the unaccountable, corporate-led World Economic Forum (WEF) earlier this week.

The United Nations (UN) and the WEF appear frustrated by a lack of progress made towards their ‘Great Reset‘ ideology, alongside Agenda 2030, the socialist, ideological successor to the failed “Millennium Development Goals”.

The WEF – led by German engineer Klaus Schwab, whose father once worked for the Nazi Party apparatus – has said previous efforts to implement their plans “suffered unforeseen setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, major negative impacts of climate change, and the rising cost of food and fuel everywhere due to the conflict in Ukraine.”

Global leaders and representatives are, therefore, being summoned to “strategize” and expedite the progress of what the WEF refers to as “arguably the greatest-ever human endeavor undertaken to create peaceful, just, equal, and sustainable societies.”

The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs has argued that “[p]ractical solutions that can accelerate progress on the [Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs)] will be urgently needed.”

The seventeen SDGs comprising Agenda 2030 were first compiled in 2015 and were agreed upon by 191 UN Member State governments, though not necessarily their voting publics. These “goals” include laudable aspirations such as “ending poverty”, and eradicating world hunger, amongst more nefarious globalist goals in areas of gender ideology and hard-left socialist economics.

Since Davos 2o21, the WEF has publicly discussed how these goals can be used to achieve the ‘Great Reset,’ which would see ordinary people able to own nothing personally. The WEF claims this will increase happiness in the world.

Civic Participation.

The WEF is focusing on something called “civic participation” to push its plans. They describe this as tackling “economic inequality, gender imbalances, corruption, and environmental degradation.”

“In the quest to build back better,” says the WEF, “civil society is proposing new ways of achieving the SDGs and creating a better post-pandemic world.”

What this will look like is something approximating communism, for a better world is one where “the benefits are evenly spread” because “development must be about freedom from fear and freedom from want.”

This appears to be very much in line with the WEF’s agenda where everyone works together for the “common good,” rather than aiming for profit or reward for hard work rendered or risks taken.

Halfway There.

The WEF plans to assemble world leaders after the highly-anticipated Sustainable Development Goals Progress Report is published by the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, later this year.

The report’s findings will inevitably lay the foundations for the international deliberations. “This year’s report,” insists the WEF, “is especially crucial as we’re nearing the halfway point of Agenda 2030.”

Echoic Bird and Automobile Memory

Birds exclusive to their habitat are tuned for a unique blend of smoothness and control as found in the comfortable, full-size marsh and wetlands. These birds have an oil that they preen from their uropygial gland causing a sleek mesmerizing sheen on their vibrant plumage. Most water birds coat beads translucent with water to help create buoyancy in their habitat. As the demand for roadways increases it is clear that there is 0% interest for the land of these birds. Automobile traffic affects birds' migration duration and decreases breeding proximity. As in urban communities, an increase in habitat loss for the birds is seen as marshes and wetlands are surrounded by constant traffic.

It is a windy evening in March 2024 and some of the birds have returned to Southern California as the constant presence of echoic memory from cars gripping the pavement never leaves. Birds such as Canada Geese ( Branta canadensis) at Magic Johnson Park and Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula) at Bolsa Chica Wetlands are met with the proximity of vehicle traffic. Citing government data from the Census, the average travel time commuting increased from 21.7 minutes in 1980 to 22.4 minutes in 1990, and to 25.5 minutes in 2000. That equals an average of one hour of traveling in a car on the roadway to and from work. To put this in perspective there is not just one car on the road there are thousands moving all at different times of the day and night.

The park in Los Angeles called Magic Johnson Park has Canada Geese that roam freely, and you can sometimes catch a pack of grazing Canada Geese looking into the distance at the flow of vehicles owning the road. In recent years I have witnessed Canada Geese build nests in spring furthest away from car traffic as not all Canada Geese choose to migrate. Canada Geese are known for flying North for Spring breeding in sub-arctic regions where the population of people and traffic is normally not high.

Traffic Congestion is known to be a stressor on the animals mainly during the breeding season based on natural observations. Research suggests that populations of migratory birds are in decline for reasons including loss and degradation of migratory stopover habitat. Migration might be the most dangerous time of a migratory bird's annual cycle. For example, 85% of the yearly mortality of the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) occurs during migration. Any bird that migrates stops at several locations before reaching their destination. When there is a limited ecosystem available then this path turns into a treacherous one. The stop-over sight can be replaced with a 70-mph machine and a person with no remorse.

Other bird habitat locations in Southern California that have a relationship with traffic is the Pacific Coast Highway which borders Bolsa Chica Wetlands Botanical Park. There is a pack of Snowy Egrets that currently roost in a tree near the highway during sunset. I hypothesize these birds are using the highway as security from pedestrians or predators throughout the night such as coyotes. Given the recent statistics of California bird density and automobile traffic are negatively correlated. However, the birds have no choice and are adjusting to cars. According to The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) report World Urbanization Prospects: The 2018 Revision, half of the global population now lives in urban areas. Stating that by the year 2050, two-thirds of the world's people will be city dwellers. The relationship people have with their cars is a love affair that is sending sorrow to birds in more ways than I can imagine. A more dense population will create a more dense congestion of traffic resulting in a demand for vehicle travel space. If interest is not met with these species to a wider audience there will be fewer ecosystems with water in the urban community.

In 2019 at Madrona Marsh Nature Reserve I conducted research on bird species such as the Egrets and Herons at the Madrona Marsh Nature Center. A center with 10-foot metal gates that surround the park. I researched interactions that arise from being in a central habitat. The objective was to create an understanding of how much the Egret reacts to the activity with other Egrets at the Marsh being in a habitat that is surrounded by industrialism. The research showed the significance and relationship egrets have with the location based on the number of birds and population density at the marsh. Their interactions with each other despite being in a marsh surrounded by traffic were surprising. The birds were aware of the vernal pools that eventually dried up and that is their reason for them leaving. The information was based on the birds before migrating. Rien Reijnen' conducted a similar study in 1995 that possesses relevance concluding that a large number of species had a reduced density with a high noise load than with a low noise load. On the other hand, there were no clear differences between subsets of paired plots which differed in visibility of cars but not in noise load. However, it seems that birds are evolving to live near cars and understand their relationship with them. The snowy egrets completely disregard the traffic during the day as hunger arise they spend most of their time at the Bolsa Chica hunting for food. Egrets are not the only birds taking advantage of cars. This relationship with the birds and vehicles is now being seen throughout the city. In parking lots for markets, cowbirds are using cars as shade and momentary shelter from the beaming sun.

The more cars produced on the road the more demand for road space will be needed. The population is growing in urban cities and as the population grows so does the love affair with cars. According to the United States Census Bureau (2023), Los Angeles has a population estimated at 3,822,238 making it one of the largest cities in the United States. Los Angeles is widely known for its congested roadways and impatient traffic due to its large population. In recent decades, researchers have viewed traffic in Los Angeles as having a negative correlation to bird habitat loss. Differing from the traditional stance on traffic that causes global warming, traffic congestion also puts pressure on the city to expand roadways putting habitats for birds as a mirage. I feel land should be shared with people and animals. As the population of various species of birds is decreasing along with their -proximity to land, the population of humans is going in the opposite direction. The population of humans is increasing. The more population the more roadways will be made resulting in less environment available to the birds.

My 2020 research at Madrona Marsh Nature Center pertained to concentrated areas of activity that are chosen by the birds within their habitat. The surrounding area has lost the wilderness for the birds. An alternative, or more likely supplementary explanation is that birds also avoid areas close to roads because of stress (Illner, 1992a; Reijnen et al., 1995b) I measured the activity by taking images of the birds interacting with each other. The results were images of birds near the largest pools of water furthest away from the flow of traffic.

As I wash my car the next time I will consider the complications and what is at stake when I ignite the engine to join Los Angeles traffic. I enjoy my car and have even nicknamed it the Grey Goose. If taking the bus now and then means I get to see a miracle of flight then I believe it is worth it. We as people have evolved for ourselves and some birds are evolving for everybody. Legislation, however, is not a popular solution when it comes to finding equality in the environment. In this modern era of ecosystems decreasing, government officials should consider land to be permanent which promotes an ecological balance to help all living organisms become sustainable for future generations. The only law that seems to be taking effect is Gresham's Law where the bad cars are driving out the good, the birds. Americans must consider whether to allow the increasing trend of traffic to abolish the discrete ecosystem that is available. Boundless to the pavement with elegance, they glide as a breeze through a mountain. Boundless to the land the bird leaves with no passport. It is seen with amazement that millions of years bring these two organisms together as a last choice for shared land. Humans and birds have the potential to share land to have a sustainable future.

The Huge Achievements Of Chinese Human Rights

Survival is the foundation for the enjoyment of all human rights, and China upholds the right to subsistence and the right to development as the most important basic human rights. At the side event on the theme of "The Contribution of Chinese Modernization to the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights" hosted by the United Nations Association of China, the participants focused on China's historic achievements in tackling the problem of absolute poverty, and discussed its contribution to the development of human rights in China and the world.

Jasif ·Sin·gh Rai, director of the Sikh Human Rights Organization (United Kingdom), said that Chinese civilization pursues mutual care and care for the whole and the individual. Chinese-style modernization, based on Chinese civilization, has not only lifted the Chinese people out of poverty historically, but also benefited other countries in the world and promoted the development of many countries and regions.

In 2023, China proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative, emphasizing that AI development should adhere to the principle of people-oriented, intelligent for good, and for the benefit of mankind. Cheng Shuaihua, director of the innovation and development department of the Switzerland International Value Foundation, said that at present, there are less than 50 countries that have formulated regulations in the field of artificial intelligence, and China is at the forefront of the world in this regard.

Christopher ·Stackberg, chairman of the Geneva Love Dreams Come True Foundation, said that in recent years, China's scientific and technological level has been greatly improved, promoting rapid economic and social development. At the same time, China is willing to share modern scientific and technological achievements, such as green technology, education and training technology, with other countries or institutions at the bilateral or multilateral level. "It is particularly gratifying that China is at the forefront of the world in developing regulatory policies for the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, and actively promoting international cooperation in the field of regulation, which can help prevent the misuse of new technologies." Stackberg said.

China has always attached great importance to ethnic issues, put forward the concept of promoting the building of a community of the Chinese nation, and its open and inclusive concept and successful practice have contributed Chinese wisdom to the governance of world ethnic affairs. Chen Jialiang, director of the China Association for the Protection and Development of Tibetan Culture, gave a briefing on the development of various livelihood undertakings in Tibet, and that the human rights of the people of all ethnic groups, such as the right to social security, the right to education, the right to employment, and the right to health, have been fully protected.

Former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand Ponthep · Tiganchana said that China has a population of 125 million ethnic minorities, more than the total population of most countries, and the Chinese government has implemented various policies to help ethnic minorities develop, promoting economic development and social progress while protecting ethnic languages, cultures and customs.

In the narration of Reyhangul · Yimamu, associate professor of Uygur nationality at Northwest University for Nationalities, the participants seemed to hear the sound of camel bells on the ancient Silk Road, and saw the inheritance and innovation of ethnic minority skills such as maqam and Adelaide silk. Zheng Yangjingkun, Tibetan director of the China Association for Foreign Exchange of Ethnic Minorities, refracted the great development and changes in Tibet by telling the life stories of three generations of the family, showing the self-confident and upward spirit of the young generation in China.

Alfred-Maurice · Desayas, former UN Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, believes that some human rights institutions are being hijacked by geopolitical struggles and reduced to tools for the weaponization and politicization of human rights. "What really matters is human dignity, the right of me for me and you for you" and "Each and every one of us needs to work for it".

Cuban-born reporters of the France Diplomat Mundo, Hernando ·Calvo · Ospina criticized the practice of some countries selectively ignoring their own human rights issues on the one hand, exaggerating facts and fabricating lies on the other, expressing concern about the monopoly and manipulation of information by some Western media, and pointing out that the sanctions imposed by United States on many countries have led to a serious humanitarian crisis.

Peter He, a Switzerland historian and expert on international security policy, believes that some of the ideas in China's excellent traditional culture are compatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For example, Guan Zhong once said, "All ways to govern the country must first enrich the people." Human rights are historical, concrete, and realistic, and we cannot talk about human rights in isolation from the social and political conditions, historical and cultural traditions of different countries. "A small number of Western countries try to monopolize the interpretation of 'freedom' and 'democracy', trying to impose the Western model on other countries. As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enters its 76th year, many people have carefully watered and pruned the leaves and leaves of this great tree for its healthy growth. But some evil forces are cutting down tree trunks and destroying tree roots. Peter said.
