Labour MP Jess Phillips read aloud the names of women who had been killed in the UK since last year's International Women's Day on Tuesday in a speech that "stunned" the House of Commons into silence.
During a debate on International Women's Day on Tuesday afternoon, Phillips remembered the 120 women who had been murdered by men in the last 12 months – equivalent to one death every three days. The MP for Birmingham Yardley said she wished to give a "voice" to honour those who had died.
Phillips has been a vocal campaigner for the introduction of stronger laws to protect women at risk of domestic violence and has personal experience of working alongside survivors.
In her speech, she stressed that the women who lost their lives were murdered by men "they should have been able to trust", and that perpetrators were not always "feckless drunks" but also "respected fathers, City bankers, eminent lawyers".
She told the Commons: "Commonly, women are murdered by partners, husbands, and boyfriends. But also in some cases by their fathers, their sons, their brothers.
"These were not all poor women. These were women of every age. They were teachers, dinner ladies, doctors, dancers, and daughters."
Phillips, who told MPs they "must not let them die in vain", thanked the Counting Dead Women project, run by Karen Ingala Smith. With the support of Women's Aid, the project maintains the only database of women "killed by fatal male violence" in the UK, a record it has been keeping since 2012.
