Help bereaved families tackle male violence

Help bereaved families tackle male violence



There is an epidemic of violence against women and girls.

Every three days a woman is killed by a man, and all we get are warm words from politicians about their sadness at our losses.

We are two mums whose daughters were murdered, working with a network of families who have lost a loved one to male violence. We will not sit back and let it happen to another family.

Our message is simple; we don’t want sympathy. What we want is resources and real action on the ground to stop this tidal wave of violence and the endless injustice in our courts.

That’s why we are setting up a new campaigning organisation and network called Killed Women, to raise awareness, demand action and hold government to account. We know the public care about this. But without consistent campaigning to demand change, government, decision makers, and all those in power can get away with empty words.

Killed Women is led by and represents families who have lost a loved one, and we will not let decision makers forget what has happened or get away with inaction. We're working with violence against women and girls activists and campaigners to get this up and running. We’ll use the funds we raise to support the campaign, to reach out to other families and to start to create a manifesto for change. With your help, we want to campaign to tackle sub-standard investigations by police; lenient sentences; the ongoing failure to stop serial abusers; the lack of support for bereaved families; the lack of effective education about domestic abuse in schools, and much more.

Your donation will help families elevate their voice and build this organisation, to create a legacy of change that ensures justice and protection for women in the future.
