In conclusion, the data analyzed in this study reveal a profile of women at risk, a profile of aggressors, and a common context at the international level. There is no international consensus on the causes of death in femicide cases, and this discrepancy is likely due to various cultural, social, and structural factors. However, empirical knowledge regarding intimate partner femicides (IPF), specific to the victims, is crucial for expanding the understanding of this phenomenon and for the development of effective prevention policies and strategies targeted at women at risk of IPF.

By identifying key risk factors, understanding the behavioral dynamics of aggressors, and considering cultural and social contexts, it becomes possible to design targeted interventions that can protect women and reduce the incidence of IPF globally. The ongoing collection of data, as well as the implementation of support systems for victims, are essential for building comprehensive.
