The exact number of women killed during the Inquisition is difficult to determine, as records were often incomplete or biased. Estimates suggest that thousands of individuals, including women, were executed for heresy, witchcraft, and other offenses over several centuries, with some estimates placing the number of women killed in the tens of thousands. However, scholars often caution against providing precise figures due to the variability in historical sources. Overall, the Inquisition was a significant period of persecution that disproportionately affected women, particularly during the witch hunts of the late medieval and early modern periods.
