Just one week ago, Destroy The Joint embarked on a campaign to honour the memories of all the women who have died as a result of violence this year. We began with 16 women and we asked you to help uncover more of these cases. Just seven days later, with help from our community, we have been able to more accurately reflect what has happened in our country since January 1: the toll of violence against women has reached 30. We thank you very much for helping with this tragic task - and urge you to tell us what you know. If you have other incidents, or if you have names, please either send us a Facebook message through this page or email us at countingdeadwomen@gmail. Here is the list of women, based on what we know so far: 30. June 6: Unnamed woman 32 found dead in a Lismore home.
