MPs fall silent as tearful Jess Phillips reads names of 101 girls killed by males
The names of 101 girls who had been killed or allegedly killed by males up to now 12 months have been learn within the House of Commons.
MPs fell silent as Labour’s Jess Phillips tearfully learn the heartbreaking listing, saying each identify was a girl who had been failed. She described the listing – which she reads yearly through the Commons International Women’s’ Day debate – is a “testament to our collective failure”.
She mentioned: “At least half of the names I’m about to read out could have been saved.” She blasted MPs for failing to guard girls, and added: “I am tired that women’s safety matters so much less in this place than small boats.
“I’m uninterested in combating for systematic change and being given given desk scraps. Never once more do I need to hear a politician say classes might be discovered from abject failure. It will not be true.”
And Ms Phillips continued: “This list is no longer just a testament to these women’s lives, it is a testament to our collective failure.”
After studying the names, she mentioned: “All of these women mattered, they need to matter much more to politics. I urge again for the Government to have a strategy for reducing femicide.”
