"HOW MANY MORE WOMEN HAVE TO DIE? A growing number of people who have experienced domestic abuse are being driven to the unthinkable", by Mishaal Khan, in Woman's Own, 27 July 2026

HARD HATS & OPEN MINDS is about breaking silence, challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours, and encouraging more men to become active allies, to support bereaved families, and help create safer communities for women and girls. “Every man has a role to play in ending violence against women.”

Men must be active allies in creating safer, more inclusive environments. Awareness MUST lead to action.

Killed Women support Emma King's petition for Julie's Law (named after her sister, who was murdered by her ex-husband in 2005), 'Introduce guidelines for disclosure photos of criminals' petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

The Victims' Code sets out the rights that every victim is entitled to. The UK Government have launched a new consultation to strengthen the Code. If you’ve navigated the justice system or supported someone who has, your experience matters. Have your say here: consult.justice.gov.uk/victim-polic...

Killed Women are in full support of Joanne Early's newly launched campaign for ‘Charlie’s Law: Protecting children, Putting victims first’, which calls for the suspension of parental responsibility for any parent convicted of child homicide or serious harm against a child.

Killed Women were at the Houses of Parliament today, in support of Make It Mandatory, Sex Education Forum and End Violence Against Women Coalition as they delivered a letter to the Department for Education calling for Relationships & Sex Education to be made mandatory for all 16-18 year olds.

BBC Points West, 5 January 2026 "Two women from Wiltshire [Killed Women's Emma King and Carole Gould] whose family members were murdered say they're relieved about the change in the law meaning perpetrators won't be allowed to live nearby when they're released from prison".

On the final day of 2024, Heather Newton was killed in her home by a man known to her. Yesterday, a man known to her was charged with the murder - in her own home - of Janet Bowen on the final day of 2025. Janet is just the last of over 115 women known to have been killed by men in 2025. 💔💕

The VAWG Curriculum Day 16 GJ Melendez-Torres @gjmelendeztorres.bsky.social from the University of Exeter tells us why he believes preventing violence against women and girls is achievable, and that we need to start with a public health response.

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 16 Our Killed Women family member Jodie tells us about the needless loss of her step-sister’s and niece’s lives. We urgently need a prevention strategy from Government, because violence against women and girls is a serious, widespread and deeply rooted problem.

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 16 We have sent a letter to the Prime Minister asking him to create an urgent prevention strategy in response to our campaign. Please read our letter (docs.google.com/document/d/1...) and share our campaign posts today. Campaign details: www.killedwomen.org/vawg-curricu...

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 15 Natalie Queiroz was facing the man who attempted to murder her being transferred to an open prison after serving just 9 years. He has now been sent back to closed prison. BUT it's not over. It will only be six months until he is re-assessed again. That's not justice.

The VAWG Curriculum Day 14 There are many failures that leave Black, minoritised and migrant abuse victims and their families further unprotected and without justice. Join our 'Invisible Women' campaign and stand in solidarity with BMM abuse victims and families: killedwomen.org/invisible-wo...

The VAWG Curriculum Day 13 Emma Bray, Chief Executive of Surrey-based domestic abuse charity I Choose Freedom, explains the reality of the funding situation for the refuge services the charity runs. www.ichoosefreedom.co.uk

The VAWG Curriculum Day 13 Without providing funding for lifesaving refuges, the government cannot achieve its goal of halving Violence Against Women and Girls in a decade. Sign Refuge’s ‘Enough is Enough: Fund Services for Women and Girls Now’ petition: campaign.refuge.org.uk/page/172999/...?

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 10 Kirsty Richards, who is a solicitor and Domestic Abuse Specialist, tells us why regular, trauma-informed training for judges is much needed – and it has to be of the highest quality. Campaign details: www.killedwomen.org/vawg-curricu...

The VAWG Curriculum Day 9 Susan Bright of EIDA (Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse), explains why an employers' response to domestic abuse is so important - and how they have an important role to play. Ask your employer to join EIDA www.eida.org.uk/become-member.

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 9 A free-to-join members’ network of employers, the Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA) supports over 2,000 businesses, over 25% of the UK workforce, to take effective action on domestic abuse. Ask your employer to join EIDA (www.eida.org.uk/become-member).

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 8 Today we are supporting Ruma's Rules, which ask for children to have a say - and be listened to when they do speak. Visit the Campaign for Ruma's Rules page for a template letter to write to your MP in support of the campaign: www.makingherstory.org.uk/campaign-for....

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 7 Bystander training is an essential part of ending violence against women because it shifts the focus from only the victim and perpetrator to the broader community. Ask if your employer or place of education can have training (e.g. kindling-interventions.com/why-bystander/)

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 6 We need male allies to end violence against women because gender-based violence isn’t just a 'women’s issue'; it’s a societal issue rooted in gender inequality, and men play a critical role both in its causes and in its solutions.
