Marijke died as a result of domestic homicide. After going through reactions of grief and horror in response to her murder, we all became inspired to see that this never happen to another family. Unfortunately, statistics continue to paint a bleak picture:
- 72% of all murder-suicides are perpetrated by intimate partners. xi
- 94% of murder-suicide victims are female. xii
Our aim is to spread knowledge of domestic abuse/violence. Recognizing a problem is the first step in stamping it out.
