🗓️ As the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we issue a stark local reminder: the Merseyside Femicide Census. These deeply disturbing figures highlight a critical problem at our own back door - but make no mistake, these problems are sadly mirrored across the country. The report shows a systemic failure in services that could have protected vulnerable women before it was too late. These findings must serve as an urgent catalyst to sustain the fight for fundamental systemic change. 🕯️ Join our community tonight at a candlelight vigil to remembering Merseyside's Lost Women | 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Derby Square. 🔗 Link to the full report in bio. thefirststepknowsley liverpooldomesticabuseservice sldaservices #MerseysideFemicide #FemicideCensus #VAWG #DomesticAbuse #IntimatePartnerViolence #AbuseAwareness #IDEVAWG #InternationalDayfortheEliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen #Merseyside #Liverpool #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #Femicide
