Today we remember Ashling Murphy whose death shocked the nation. Every year, the equivalent of a city the size of Marseille is lost due to femicide and violence against women. Serious action is needed, including at EU level.
RT @NWCI: 🧵Ahead of Ashling Murphy's anniversary tomorrow, we are calling for urgent action on #femicide.

Violence against women is an epidemic, and government must take steps to address it.
