Canadian authorities do not keep statistics on women murdered by men. Often news reports don't include the names of the women whose lives are cut short by violence. These women and girls matter and their names are recorded here.
Thank you to the UK group CountingDeadWomen, WomenCount USA, the Australian group REAL for Women, and the Newfoundland Feminists and Allies for counting women who are murdered.
