Dead Women Walking to Downing Street

A Lancashire actor is highlighting domestic violence murders in the UK with a visual remembrance march to Downing Street this November.
 
WESTMINSTER, U.K. - Oct. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Claire Moore, who is currently starring in the play 'LADY IN RED' has organised the 'Dead Women Walking' march from her home in Preston.

'The number of women murdered by their partners and ex-partners in the UK is an indictment of civilised society,' says Claire, 'Domestic violence accounts for a quarter of all violent crime in the UK with approximately two women a week being murdered.'

'For the last few years I have been listing the names and ages of women killed through domestic violence as part of a display we take on tour,' adds Claire, 'People are often shocked to see the list and wonder why they didn't know this was happening - these murders rarely make front page news, because they are commonplace and not considered 'newsworthy' - I want to change that!'

This #DeadWomenWalkingwalk to Downing Street is a remembrance walk to raise awareness of the women behind the statistics of domestic violence murders. To take place on Sunday 23rd November 2014 to coincide with International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women that week.
