What follows now are the images we caught from our #HeartsForMurderedWomen vigil yesterday, which we held during the #16DaysOfActivism, the day after #IDEVAW #16days #SayHerName @tweet_tdas @FemicideCensus @CountDeadWomen
We met with our @WomanchesterMMN sisters, and were joined by sisters from @wepmanchester @WRNmanchester @matters_yes @MancFemNet and others. #HeartsForMurderedWomen #IDEVAW #16days #16DaysOfActivism
The #HeartsForMurderedWomen were strung from the statue of #OurEmmeline and hung between the trees lining #StPetersSquare in #Manchester #16DaysOfActivism #IDEVAW #16days
There were enough to fill a huge square of #HeartsForMurderedWomen lining #StPetersSquare - one for each of the 144 women killed by #maleviolence #16DaysOfActivism #IDEVAW #16days
The #HeartsForMurderedWomen blew in the wind and the #Manchester public stopped to ask what we were doing. We were able to raise awareness of fatal #maleviolence #16DaysOfActivism #IDEVAW #16days
So many people did not know about @CountDeadWomen or @we_are_nina so we are glad we created our #HeartsForMurderedWomen so the names of our murdered sisters are remembered #IDEVAW #16days #16DaysOfActivism

Around 1pm, @MiriamCYP read out the names of each woman for whom we made the #HeartsForMurderedWomen - all 144 murdered by #maleviolence in 2021. You can read their names here:

Thank you to all the women who joined us from other orgs and individually @wepmanchester @MancFemNet @WRNmanchester @matters_yes @FiLiA_charity @Womans_Place_UK @IAmMrs_M
It is an emotional day, but one which we feel is important. We remember and honour the women for whom we made the #HeartsForMurderedWomen, we raise awareness to try help other women and we come together in #sisterhood, many of us survivors too #Solidarity #16DaysOfActivism
Watch our socmed in next week or so and you will be able to home one of our #HeartsForMurderedWomen. We donate the raised funds to @tweet_tdas & the @FemicideCensus equally. We learned our money funded a project for women & girls last year with @tweet_tdas #womensupportingwomen
Finally, the video taken of the #HeartsForMurderedWomen is too long for Twitter, which emphasises how many hearts we had to make, a number which could go up! Here is part 1 #16DaysOfActivism #IDEVAW #16days #SayHerName
Part 2 of the video of our #HeartsForMurderedWomen #IDEVAW #16days #16DaysOfActivism #SayHerName
Thanks again to @K_IngalaSmith for her work on @CountDeadWomen, to the @FemicideCensus and to @JeanHatchet, whose #RideForMurderedWomen inspired us. Thanks to all who have supported our #HeartsForMurderedWomen for the last four years #sisterhood and #Solidarity 💜💚♀️
Our leaflets, of which, 400 printed and given away! We need more! #HeartsForMurderedWomen #IDEVAW #16days #16DaysOfActivism #SayHerName
