These are the women we should remember. These are the faces of the women who’s lives were so cruelly taken. Let’s not fill Twitter with Peter Sutcliffe’s image but recall those who weren’t given the choice of living to 74.
All innocent women - Sutcliffe’s legacy of terror defined how a generation of women dare not venture out alone at night

Claire tells me why it’s so important her voice is heard.
We rock our children to sleep as babies.Sing them back to sleep after nightmares.But nothing prepares you to hold them in your arms so tightly to fall into eternal sleep.There are shelves full of books telling you how to raise a child.But none telling you how to live without them
