In Berlin, several women have become victims of femicide in recent years.

Since 2023, a total of 20 women have been killed by a man as a result of partner or domestic violence, according to the Senate Interior Administration's response to a request from the Green Party parliamentary group in the House of Representatives, which the "Tagesspiegel" (Friday edition) reported in advance. According to the report, last year women were victims of violent crimes in their relationships in 9,908 cases. These include crimes such as coercion, stalking, or sexual abuse.

More than 5,800 of these incidents involved physical assault, over 700 of which were serious bodily harm. In 2,674 cases, men were also the victims of intimate partner violence. To protect against further crimes within a relationship, the Berlin police issued a total of 2,088 eviction orders against partners last year. This involves confiscating the perpetrators' house keys. They are then prohibited from entering the partner's home for a maximum of 14 days. At the same time, the police registered almost 1,700 violations of the restraining order against approaching and entering the shared home contained in the Violence Protection Act. Given these figures, Bahar Haghaniour, the Green Party's spokesperson for women's policy, believes that current measures to protect women are insufficient. "Being a woman in Germany is a security risk. We Greens therefore demand better protection against violence. Because it saves lives," she told the Tagesspiegel newspaper. The current maximum period of 14 days for removal orders is too short. The Greens therefore called for an extension of the removal order to four weeks.
