Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. #IDEVAW2020

We'll post a piece a day about this emergency for #16DaysOfActivism

🕯️Today, take a moment of silence to remember the 95 women, compiled by @CountDeadWomen, killed by men in the UK in 2020
Today, @FemicideCensus released its ground-breaking 10-year report: UK Femicides 2009-2018.

Key findings:

◾️34% of women had kids under 18
◾️1 woman killed every 3 days
◾️62% of women killed by partner or ex
◾️Of these, 59% had reported previous abuse

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Because gender inequality is deeply entrenched in our culture, society, community, and daily lives, and it drives this violence.
