Domestic violence manifests itself in all levels of society and in all societies around the world. Accurate statistics on victims of domestic violence in Bulgaria are lacking. NOEMA statistics from 2001 show that every fourth Bulgarian woman is a victim of domestic violence. Data from seven district courts in the period 2012-2014 show that 91% of murders of women were committed by men, 7% - with the complicity of men and women, and only 2% - only by women. In 35% of cases, murders and attempted murders of women were committed by the victim's current or former intimate partner, in 31% by another known man, and in only 9% of murders by a stranger. Two-thirds of the killings took place at the victim's home. In 2018 alone, 33 women / according to the Ministry of Interior / were killed by their intimate partners. For the first three months of 2019, 10 women were killed.
