The 25th Twickenham vigil to raise awareness of violence against women and girls will take place on Monday.

The vigil, organised by The Women's Equality Party, will take place at 6pm on Monday 4 September at the Amelie Delagrange memorial bench on Twickenham Green (on the left hand side of the Green as you head away from Twickenham High Street).

Amelie Delagrange was murdered by Levi Bellfield whilst walking home across Twickenham Green, in 2004.

Bellifield has been convicted of murdering Amelie Delagrange, Milly Dowler and Marsha McDonnell and remains in prison.

This vigil marks two years since the vigils started, in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard, who was murdered by police officer Wayne Couzens, as she was travelling home in Clapham.

In a statement, WEP Richmond said: "'WE have held these vigils every month for the past 2 years, because WE want women's lives to be taken seriously. WE need your help to make local politicians take it seriously too, so in turn it can be pushed up the national agenda. Please join us at 6pm on Monday 4th September for our 25th Vigil to show you care.

"In 2021, 144 women were killed by men in the UK. In 2022, it was 108. That is one woman killed every 3 days."
