CONTENT WARNING: This project contains the names and images of some Indigenous women and children lost to violence.

Simply tap a RED HEART to interact with the Australian Femicide & Child Death Map.

This Map is a companion project to The RED HEART Campaign's Memorial to Women and Children Lost to Violence.

The Map honours and remembers those lost to murder, manslaughter, neglect and other abuses, regardless of the perpetrator gender or relationship to the victim.

There are no statistics on the Map. It is a journalism-based story-driven project and it is far from finished.

The deaths documented here go back as far as white settlement in Australia and I am adding more victims weekly.

I acknowledge there are difficulties tracking Indigenous deaths and am working to overcome this.

Most of the information is publicly available and the material is sourced from coroner reports, media stories, police and family and friends of victims.  - Sherele Moody
