A Woman Was Killed

In many countries, women are killed by a partner or ex-partner, often after a visible history of threats, stalking and psychological abuse. A Woman Was Killed follows cases through testimonies from survivors, families and investigators, reconstructing the warning signs that preceded the crimes and questioning how authorities responded when victims sought help.

By revealing the recognisable patterns behind these murders, the series moves beyond a single nation and speaks to a global issue: femicide is rarely sudden and understanding it is key to preventing it.
