Files coming soon.
These are some of the things we continue to believe. We continue to believe that violence against women and girls is not inevitable. We continue to believe that it can be prevented. We continue to believe that cultural change is possible and that harmful attitudes towards women and girls can be challenged and changed.
We continue to believe that violence against women and girls deserves sustained attention, long-term commitment and action that rises above political cycles.
We continue to believe that victims, survivors and bereaved families bring an important perspective to conversations about justice, public safety and social change. We continue to believe that citizens have an important role to play in creating safer communities and looking out for one another.We continue to believe that public attention is often better directed towards the lives of those who were lost than towards those who took their lives. We hope more men will join this conversation and use their voices to help prevent violence against women and girls. We continue to believe that women and girls should be able to walk home safely. We honour all women and girls murdered at the hands of men. We honour those whose names became known across the country and those whose stories received little public attention. We honour the families who continue to carry their absence. We recognise that many of the changes made to improve women's safety have come about because families found the strength to speak when silence would have been easier.
We hope the women whose lives were taken will be remembered not only for how they died, but also for the changes that followed in their names.
We hope that one day there will be a permanent place of remembrance where women and girls lost to male violence are honoured and remembered.
Not as victims alone. But as women whose lives continue to influence the world that followed.
Their lives mattered.
Their voices matter.
Their legacy continues.
