57TH AUSTRALIAN WOMAN KILLED IN 2026

A woman was stabbed to death overnight in Armidale, NSW. A 53-year-old man known to her is in police custody. She is the 57th Australian woman killed this year. Last year we lost 80 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed. 

❤️You can help me get a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls by sharing the petition on your socials and letting your circle know about it. 

❤️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
