Just under a third of London's homicide victims this year are women, a BBC analysis of police data has shown.
Thirteen women, out of 39 homicide victims, have been killed in London so
far in 2022, according to Met Police statistics, and all suspects are men.
It is a slightly higher ratio compared to the same time last year, when 12
out of 54 homicide victims were females.
The analysis comes as London mayor Sadiq Khan has pledged £17.7m as part
of a strategy to keep women safe.
His fresh plan uses a public health approach to tackling violence
pioneered in Chicago.
In 2018, to combat a rise in violent crime in the capital, Mr Khan
declared the issue would be treated as a public health issue.
