Today is the first day of the UN's global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign. As I have done for years, I'm going to read the names of women killed by violence this year using records kept by the organisation Counting Dead Women. It is a volunteer organisation because we still don't have a government-kept national toll. The lives of these 43 women matter. They are: Marcia Chalmers, 86; Rhukaya Lake, 39; Lisa Ward, 55; unnamed woman, 58; Jordana Johnston, 36; unnamed woman; Irene Selmes, 84; unnamed woman, 52; unnamed woman, 23; unnamed woman, 31; Carra Luke, 48; unnamed woman, 30; Anu Kumar, 32; Summer Fleming, 20; Athena Georgopoulos, 39; Zoe Walker, 38; Shafeeqa Husseini, 41; Amanda Ramen, 62; unnamed woman, 81; Leanne Akrap, 47; unnamed woman, 22; Krystel Paul, 41; Norma Dutton, 85; Lauren Hopkins, 47; Muzhda Habibi, 23; unnamed woman, 48; Phoebe Bishop, 17; unnamed woman, 28; unnamed woman, 39; Thi Kim Tran, 45; Louise Hunt; Czarina Tumaliuan, 42; Cecilia Webb, 79; Audrey Griffin, 19; Irene Herzel, 78; Kara Weribone, 27; Crystal Beale, 49; unnamed woman, 41; Rachel Moresi, 55; Rachel McKenna, 35; Lilian Donnelly, 88; Merril Kelly; and an unnamed woman, 51.
