What are the primary challenges in defining and measuring femicide in the Netherlands?

The main challenge lies in defining femicide. While the statistic of a woman being murdered every eight days is frequently cited, it doesn't specify whether the murder was femicide (killing a woman because she is a woman). Different definitions (including only partner murders, or expanding to friends/family) complicate data collection and analysis.
