I receive plenty of heartbreaking emails throughout the year, none more so than those I get in the days before I read the list of women killed by men each year on International Women’s Day.
The women from the Femicide Census send me the list a week in advance and always without fail in that final week, there are new names to add to the list - women killed or found that week.
The most famous example in 2021 was Sarah Everard whose name was added to my speech in pencil moments before I rose to my feet to speak.
