In May 2025, UNODC facilitated a national workshop in Johannesburg on conceptualizing a research methodology for undertaking femicide reviews in South Africa. The workshop brought together researchers from governmental institutions and non-governmental organizations, including the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Statistics South Africa, the Human Sciences Research Council, the Institute for Security Studies and the Pan-African Collective for Evidence. Building on a regional stakeholder consultation on femicide reviews convened by UNODC in 2024, the workshop explored how femicide reviews can be conducted in a global south context. UNODC facilitated the participation of international experts from the United States and the United Kingdom who shared their experiences with domestic homicide and femicide reviews.
