In just three days, we lost two women and two girls to femicide across the country. 
A man has  been charged with killing Jana Armstrong - she is the fourth female victim of male violence in Australia since July 4.
Jana was reported missing from Newtown, Queensland, on July 7. The alleged killer is known to her and charged with murder (domestic violence). 
We also lost 13-year-old Layla Jeffery on July 4, a 17-year-old unnamed girl on July 6 and 39-year-old mum-of-two Lavanya Chappa on July 7.
In all their cases, the accused killers are known to the victims. 
This is what a femicide epidemic looks like. It features men and boys killing women and girls because they can. 
Jana, Lavanya, Layla, the unnamed girl - indeed all victims of femicide - deserve a national truth-telling. Their families deserve to be heard at a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls.
We cannot change the story on male violence if we keep turning our eyes away. Please sign the petition and if you have signed, please pass it onto others to add their signatures.

❤️ABOUT THE COUNT❤️
I document all Australian women & children lost to murder, manslaughter, neglect and other unlawful acts regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship to the victim. This means not all women and children killed are lost to domestic violence. They are also killed by people known to them (ie friends) or by strangers. My work includes Australians killed overseas. Every death is documented at AustralianFemicideWatch.org/database
