    Thank you so much for this.
    I am a survivor of domestic abuse.
    I could have been a name on this list in 2014 if it weren’t for the last minute courage I found to finally walk through the door I had tried to leave so many times. I am lucky, I know, that I survived.

    I want to send so much love to all of the families of all of these amazing women who endured so much.

    Words just aren’t enough.

  7. Hi Karen,

    I’m a graduate student at Brigham Young University currently conducting research for a professor on international violence against women.

    I stumbled upon your project today and was wondering if you have published any reports or will be publishing any reports in the near future.

    Thank you for your important work- these women deserve to named and remembered.

    Best,
    Jordan Wilson

  11. Karen, your work is invaluable! I am Spanish and domestic violence is something that it is talked on the media. However, I lived in the UK and I could not believe how mainstream media ignored these killings!

  12. Hi Karen. In Lewisham we are doing an exhibition of women’s shoes linked to the women killed this year to mark 25 November. We have copied the picture at the top of this post and referenced your campaign. Hope this is OK. Roz on behalf of WAVES Lewisham.

      • Sure – we are doing it as a one off on Sat 29th November at Deptford Lounge just off Deptford High St. If you were there that day we’d like you to talk in our afternoon slot in the library. We may be doing it in Lewisham Town Hall as part of the White Ribbon Day stuff that LBL are organising on 25 November in the afternoon. We are trying to focus the council’s White Ribbon stuff as more the concrete steps that men need to take to address VAWG in their own spheres of influence. We are ‘crowdsourcing’ the shoes so they will be old and not all red. I am hoping that we may be able too take the display elsewhere after these two (including any ideas you have). It was Heather Harvey’s idea. Roz (07957 233386 if you want to talk).

      • Damn! Seems I am destined to keep missing your events but I’m not in London that weekend. But let me know when and where other dates are planned, in principle, really happy to come along and talk.

  15. It saddens me that so many women have been killed since the beginning of the year.
    It shocks me that there is no official source available.
    It sickens me to see the responses of some men on here. Why are they not horrified by these statistics?
    Thank you for doing this Karen. Its such important work.

  16. What you are doing is really valuable. This list has helped me understand the world better than any statistic or news report ever did.

  17. This is an incredible list. Can I ask where you get the information? Do you simply scour the news or is there and official source for this?

  18. It seems to me that if you want to make a comparison which has some relevance, then instead of asking how many men have been killed in the same period, the correct question would be how many men have been killed *by women* in the same period? I sometimes think that people don’t ask that question because it’s so rare as to hardly be on the public radar as a thing.

  23. Such an important piece of work, thank you for giving these women a name and a value – too many lives lost x

  24. Looking at the statistics, the male on male murder rate runs approximately 3 times higher than male on female murder. That is 3 men are murdered for every woman.

    Your list doesn’t even differentiate murders where gender isn’t the reason for the murder either. Deeply worrying.

  26. The Womens Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Center in Bodmin were made aware of your blog and today (International Women’s Day) all of the victims of 2014 were commemorated and their names read aloud in Truro with a megaphone so that everyone could hear their names. We were only able to do this with the list provided in this blog and so on behalf of those of us that were inspired by your blog thank you so much for Counting Dead Women so that these women are not forgotten and the circumstances in which they died not brushed under the carpet and ignored. We had one woman for every victim so that the public could take in what 23 women that aren’t here would look like.

    • How can the police, and public, continue to believe that murder of women on this scale is not connected? We have to stop calling murder of women by men they know as ‘isolated incidents’. I would prefer police to say ‘part of a social pattern of violence in which another man has killed a woman he knows’. This lets everyone know that there is an epidemic out there, and that it targets familiar relationships, but that we can’t pin point who is next. At least then other men might ask what the ‘warning signs’ are. I mean we all know about suspicious packages left on trains, or signs someone might have meningitis. Why not recognise the triggers for men about to kill their wives, girlfriends, ex-partners etc?
