Destroy the Joint is a Facebook group that records deaths of women and girls. Destroy the Joint endorses a gendered view of domestic violence and ignores the reciprocal nature of about half of all intimate partner violence.
Please note: We do not confine our count to only deaths attributed as domestic or family violence, as we believe all these violent deaths targeted against women are the result of societal misogyny. Most of these cases are subject to court proceedings but we do know that in at least 75 per cent of the cases reported so far this year, the victim knew her alleged killer. We also include women killed by other women (lateral violence).[1]
