What follows are the many pictures taken yesterday on our vigil. The snow just added to how moving it was, the reading of their names as the snow settled on each heart... 💔💔💔

I am part of the feminist collective @WomanchesterMMN and every year now we make a heart for each woman killed through male violence in the previous year.
In November 2019 we hung these hearts up on a washing line outside the central library in St Peter's Square in Manchester.
We asked passers by to take a heart to honour murdered women. We gave out flyers too and had many conversations with people who had no idea of the scale of male violence.
I spoke to one woman who knew one of the women we'd made a heart for. She took two hearts, one for herself
and one for the young woman's mother.
I spoke to a woman who said she had come within a hair's breadth of being another woman for whom we would have made a heart.
We talked and we cried together.
