From #RECLAIM THESE STREETS
On
August 3rd, please join us in remembering the lives of Bibaa Henry and
Nicole Smallman surrounded by the people they loved, and to light a
candle for all the women threatened on our streets and lost to male
violence.
Just
over a year ago, these two sisters were taken away from their loved
ones - but as their mother Mina Smallman says, they should not simply be
remembered as victims. While nothing can bring them back, we hope their
lives can make a change in the way women are viewed, and black women in
particular.
On
what would have been Nicole's 29th birthday, we will gather at Barn
Hill Pond, Fryent Country Park at 7pm to hold a moment's silence at
7.30.
For
those of you unable to travel to Fryent Park, we would love to help you
organise your own vigil or you can join us in spirit by lighting a
candle on your doorstep.
