In essence their murders could have been prevented.

The #DeadWomenWalking march aims to raise awareness of the women behind the statistics of domestic violence murders.

It is a peaceful, creative ‘Murder March’ to remember and represent the women murdered in the UK by partners, ex-partners and family members.

Last year the first #DeadWomenWalking march went to Downing Street to raise awareness of domestic violence murders.

It was a respectful, artistic march where women walked in silence in red ponchos and carrying a candle with the name of a murdered woman on, and the names and ages of the 400+ women who had been killed since the election were read out loud.
