Sherele Moody joins Samira on The Score to discuss the profound importance of her work with the Australian Femicide Watch and the RED HEART Campaign, specifically the memorial on her website that details each case of femicide.

Through this site, Sherele is determined to honour the victims and ensure their names are never erased. "I’ve mapped 2,000 women and children killed, but there are still over 70,000 deaths and counting," she reveals, illustrating the heartbreaking scale of the ongoing crisis.

The website is an interactive, living memorial where each victim’s story is carefully documented—by name, date, location, cause of death, and the relationship to the perpetrator.

“They are never named in headlines or social media, often referred to as just ‘another domestic murder,’” Sherele explains, calling attention to the dehumanisation and erasure these victims face. By meticulously mapping their stories, she ensures that they are remembered not just as statistics, but as individuals whose lives had value.

This effort is a powerful response to the media’s failure to properly cover femicide and domestic violence, where victims are often reduced to mere numbers.

"Erased by the person who ends their life, and then by society itself," she says, emphasising how these women are doubly victimised—once by their killers, and again by the indifference of a system that forgets them.

Through the RED HEART Campaign, Sherele is fighting to change that, preserving the legacies of those lost and ensuring their stories will not be ignored.

She also stresses the critical role men must play in this fight. "Men need to be the change agents," Sherele insists, pointing out that it is not enough for women to demand change alone.

It is men who must challenge the deeply rooted misogyny, toxic masculinity, and violence that allow femicide to thrive. The conversation must shift, and men must be active participants in ending the cycle of violence.
