Staggering that this headline is still up, BBC News (UK). Samantha Holden was a woman and mother, who her family described her as a “kind and beautiful soul who will be forever loved”. This is why I’m passionate about educating newsrooms to give dignity to dead women in reporting ⬇️

Our thoughts are with Bryonie, Denisty, Oscar, Aubree & their loved ones - a senseless tragedy which the Police think is 'domestic' in nature. Our homes & relationships should be places of safety. Ending violence against women and girls must be a priority bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Not satisfied with stealing a woman’s vocation and life, he had to make her suffer in sheer pain and terror. I can’t imagine what Rebecca Cheptegei went through when she was doused in petrol and set alight. What a time to be a woman.

Refuge is devastated to hear of the death of Rebecca Cheptegei. On average, one woman is killed by an abusive partner or ex every five days in England and Wales. A further three women a week die by suicide as a result of domestic abuse (1/2)

It is hard to comprehend the abhorrent details of this case. Gisèle Pélicot has told a court she waived her right to anonymity "for every woman who has been drugged without knowing it". tinyurl.com/yeyt2465

Heartbreaking and infuriating – Rebecca Cheptegei should still be here today. Our very own Naana Otoo-Oyortey spoke to ITV news about the tragic murder of Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca, who passed in hospital this morning, and how successful women are still targets for domestic abuse.

Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate. FORWARD's Executive Director Naana Otoo-Oyortey spoke to ITV News about Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei who was killed by her ex-partner, and how success shouldn't come with a death sentence. Watch here: itv.com/news/2024-09-0…

We strongly condemn the murder of Rebecca Cheptegei, the third elite runner to be murdered in Kenya. All suspects were intimate partners of the athletes. No impunity for perpetrators. The trend of #femicide must be stopped. Statement by UN Women Africa unwo.men/j9w250TgStU
