This following report provides a comparison of femicide rates in Ontario from January
1st - March 1st 2020 and January 1st - March 1st 2021. It is important to note that the
information pertaining to the 2021 femicide cases may be incomplete due to ongoing
police investigations. This can be seen quite evidently through the examination of cause
of death for femicide victims in 2021 where there is a high number of cases where
cause of death has been coded as unknown. This is likely due to the lack of details that
have been provided by police pertaining to cause of death. As investigations continue
there will likely be further details released allowing for a more thorough analysis of
trends related to cause of death. It is also important to note the total number of
femicides may not be accurate for both 2020 and 2021. The OAITH femicide list relies
