An unidentified speaker said the scale of gendered lethal violence is immediate and severe, telling listeners that "1 woman or girl is killed every 10 minutes by an intimate partner or by her family member." The speaker framed femicide as "the fatal final act in a continuum of violence," arguing that lethal outcomes follow escalating abuse rather than occurring without warning.

The speaker connected online and offline harm, saying women are often "surveyed online before they are attacked offline" and that coerced images can "spark lethal harm." The remarks tied digital harassment to real-world danger and urged greater attention to online signals that precede violence.

Addressing platform responsibility, the speaker said some killings are "actually live streamed on platforms" and added that those platforms "should protect them," calling for steps to prevent the distribution and live transmission of violent content.

On technology’s role, the speaker warned that "artificial intelligence is actually accelerating this harm," and said "deep fakes and targeted harassment is evolving faster and faster than the systems can actually keep pace." The comment emphasized a gap between emerging abuse methods and current platform safeguards.

Linking the remarks to a global advocacy moment, the speaker said this year’s "16 Days to End Violence Against Women and Girls" campaign is centered on ending online harms and making digital safety foundational to women’s safety, rights and public life. The talk concluded with an appeal for prevention strategies that address both online harms and their offline consequences.
