According to a report released this week, 3.43 Alaskan women were killed in 2020 for every 100,000 people living in the state — a rate more than twice the national average.
Supporters of the Alaskans Choose Respect campaign listen to speakers during a rally at the state Capitol, March 27, 2014 — when the rate of women killed by men in Alaska was slightly lower than it was in 2020.
The report details findings from the most recent data, which is from 2020. In that year, 12 Alaska women were killed by men. More than 90% of the victims were killed by someone they knew. A quarter of them were killed with guns.
