ABSTRACT
Intimate partner femicide statistics may include trans-women as they are mainly based on victims' legally registered sex. Feminist campaigns against intimate femicide have met with considerable success, perhaps especially in those Anglophone jurisdictions where law reforms are ensuring that victims are less likely to be blamed for their own deaths and men are no longer getting away with murder. The reforms signify that feminists are achieving one of their central goals, namely elevating intimate partner femicide from its lowly traditional place on the hierarchy of homicides into its rightful assignation – murder, or even aggravated murder in some jurisdictions. The goal for the next generation of feminists is to develop early intervention prevention strategies that contest transnational, culturally mandated excuses for hurting and killing women before sexist views become entrenched, challenging unexamined deeply held beliefs about men's propriety rights over women.
