On April 14, 2008 the IGWG, USAID, WHO, Intercambios, the Medical Research Council, PATH, and PRB sponsored a half-day panel discussion on femicide—the murder of women by men, especially by intimate partners. The event featured experts from around the world who spoke on identifying and understanding femicide in its various forms, its prevalence, and its relationship to international development and reproductive health.
