Here is the article covering the report

Here is the official website of the government.

Here is the report from the "Federal Office for Gender Equality " - in French.

Let’s start with the following. Even one victim is one victim too much. Even if one person is vulnerable because of their gender, this is one person that should be saved.

Now, it is interesting how this research is not really trying to help victims, as much as promote a very specific aspect. Men are killing, women are in danger. Though this is far from truth.

It is “presenting” the data from a certain aspect “men are responsible” and goes to great extend to show how they are indeed responsible for most of the homicides that are happening in a domestic context. It is however quite perplexing, how this research is eliminating the fact, that men are suffering too.

First of all, there is nowhere a graph with a clear breakdown of the gender aspects of victims in Switzerland. 46% of all homicide victims are men. Is that something we could be caring about? Or do we consider, that gender equality has been achieved there?

But this research is focusing on domestic homicides. It is nowhere to be seen in a graph, but in 9.2.1 it clearly says…”où les victimes sont à 72 % des femmes.” . To translate that in to plain language:  

3 out of 10 victims in domestic homicides are men. Don’t they matter? Let me repeat that. 

3 out of 10 victims in domestic homicides are men. Don’t they matter? 

There is however table 9.2, that is exonerating women in relation to guns in direct homicides. It is true, few women use guns to kill directly. But then again…We could be making correlations day long, that would make “men” or “women” seem like they are the good or the bad.

If we also add years lost due to quality of life (adding abuse corrected for reported and unreported, as well as earlier death because of working context within a family, as well as the costs for providing alimony - until recently), that would also help a more realistic picture of the gender distribution of victims. 

So much for “science” and “gender equality”.

It is no surprising that Switzerland is just ignoring men once more, slowly making them a tiny bit more invisible.
