Woman in Austria shot by ex-partner-police on hunting!

Maria Alm, Österreich - In Austria, a tragic crime shaked the public. A 34-year-old German was apparently shot by her former partner.

The alleged act took place in a public place where the victim met with her ex-partner. Eyewitnesses report a terrible incident that a friend of the dead had to see, which she accompanied to the conversation.

The police immediately initiated a large -scale search for the alleged perpetrator. According to information from Tagesspiegel are numerous patrol cars and the quick intervention group (SIG) Mission. The search focuses on the Pinzgau and the adjacent border areas. The investigation was taken over by the Salzburg State Criminal Police Office.

femicide and gender -specific violence

This incident already marks the fifth female female in Austria in 2025. Femicides are murders that are committed due to the sex of the victim and sadly represent an alarming problem in many companies. According to a survey by the European Commission on the subject of gender -specific violence of 2021, women are disproportionately affected by violence, especially in intimate relationships. The survey commissioned by Eurostat and the Federal Chancellery deals with various forms of violence against women, including stalking and sexual harassment at work, and provides valuable information about victims of violence.

The Statistics Austria emphasizes the need for comprehensive measures against gender violence. In the "Strategy for the Equality of Gender 2020–2025", the European Commission plans a detailed data collection on violence against women in order to develop effective strategies to combat this form of violence.

The fate of the 34-year-old woman and the circumstances of her murder have a short time on the urgent need to act against violence against women. The alleged perpetrator is still fleeting, and the public pressure on the authorities for a quick and comprehensive clarification of the case is growing.
