Artist painting all of the women murdered by men

I only caught a tiny bit of this but it’s incredibly moving.

And of course the arseholes have piped up on twitter asking why she isn’t painting men.

Honestly it is ridiculous. I was on s local Facebook group recently where some bloke piped up that 40% of domestic abuse was by women! I asked where he got this figure from but got no answer! But if you say it, it can become your truth even if it is a lie.
The artist is incredible and it is very moving.

Lovely tribute. Heartbreaking that it has to be made though :(

There are a couple of recent threads here - worth linking because there's a poster in the April one who was surprised that the murder of a mother and daughter had been local to her but she hadn't heard of it.

Such a beautiful and elegiac commemoration of all those stories that were cut so brutally short.

They are exquisite. Even as they break our hearts. I don't really have the words.

Henny’s comment that the murdered women were too often shown alongside their murderers was so stark and moving. Thanks for the links to other threads, I shall read them.

I'm gripped by the poignancy of how Henny Beaumont has perfectly captured the lives and legacy of those many women and girls - and how many of them remain unknown and unacknowledged in people's awareness of the scale of VAWG and the genuine public health menace that it is.

Media reporting and the societal preference to preserve the reputation of the men who killed the women and girls seems to take precedence over all other considerations - even if it does lead to a tragic lack of understanding.
