Good luck to them.

That's a powerful campaign. We need a strong campaign to get this issue taken seriously. Every day there's another horrendous story of male violence. But will men stop to read the plaques and take notice or will they give it as little attention as they do femicide headlines? I think an anger is building in women but it will take a revolution to make the changes that will make us safe.

That is horrific, I had no idea that the sentencing varied so much.

There's an anger in FWR, is it your perception that this is an issue that is detectable in (say) AIBU?

Is this a Silent Majority thing?

Agreed on the need for a society-wide conversation and (r)evolution.

Ellie Gould was only17, I mean all the deaths are horrific but at 17 Ellie she was still technically a child, and her murderer got the lowest prison sentence of all the other murders.
Julie Butcher' murderer is now out, I wonder how long it will be before he does it again? if you take a life, prison should be for life.
