Abstract:
Burn-related violence against women (BVAW) is a severe form of gender-based violence with significant consequences for victims' physical and mental health, as well as societal and economic impacts. This study analyzes data from the German Burn Registry (2015-2023) on the prevalence and demographics of female burn victims in Germany. The data is discussed in terms of its social implications and the relevance of this issue. The German Burn Registry is unique, offering comprehensive insights not commonly available in other first-world countries, highlighting the need for greater attention to BVAW.
