Killed Here
The Idea
If a person is killed outside, the minimum sentence is 25 years. But murdered in the safety of your own home? Just 15. And the victims? Mostly women, killed by their partners, often in brutal acts of overkill.
With a female founder, female CD and team that’s 85% women, we felt compelled to act.
So we turned English Heritage plaques ‘black and blue’ — a symbol of remembrance for women murdered in their homes.
Working with Killed Women, we gained the trust of seven families, who shared their stories and helped us create plaques for their daughters and sisters. Placed on the homes where they were murdered, the plaques were then taken to Westminster.
Their message was simple: ‘Murder is murder. Change the law.’
Three months later, Killed Women founders Julie and Carole, who lost their daughters to domestic homicide, were named in the 2024 Honours List.
And on December 4th 2024, most importantly, the law changed.
