Killed here' plaques unveiled in campaign for tougher sentences for domestic homicides
Briefly

The series of blue and black plaques serves to memorialize women killed by men, highlighting the significant disparity in sentencing for domestic versus non-domestic homicides.
The campaign by Killed Women emphasizes that men who murder women at home on average serve 10 years less than those who commit similar crimes in other settings.
Families of murdered women are calling on the government to honor its past commitments and correct the injustices in sentencing that devalue their loved ones' lives.
The temporary plaques will serve as both memorials and a call to action, as Killed Women aims to influence legislative change by meeting with influential MPs.
