Thursday, suggests the increase in killings of women and girls documented during the COVID-19 pandemic is “going to continue for some time to come,” said Myrna Dawson, University of Guelph professor and founder of the femicide organization.
In 2022 there were at least 184 killings, the highest number since the organization began tracking such deaths nationwide in 2018, when it recorded 169. The number has increased each year since 2020, whenIn 2020, the Femicide Observatory counted 172 — up from 148 in 2019. In 2021, there were 177., whose murder — allegedly by her ex-boyfriend, Dylon Dowman — led to misconduct charges being laid against the Toronto police officer who allegedly failed to investigate her case.
