Killed Women is a campaign organisation and network for bereaved families who have lost daughters, mothers, sisters or other relatives.

“We want to work with families of different backgrounds and experiences to make sure we have laws and policies that protect, support and ensure justice for all women. We know that racism, prejudice based on disability, financial position or immigration status, can impact the abuse, violence or organisational failures women and families suffer.”
