I'm Sorry: Art, protest, intervention - the final portrait in this special edition series by artist Annabel McCourt with #SayHerNameHull

Part of our 'week of action' that began White Ribbon Day & runs until tomorrow, 11am, when we march & hold vigil to remember women lost to male violence.

I'm Sorry: Art, protest, intervention - a special edition of portraits by artist Annabel McCourt with #SayHerNameHull
explores "the contrast between the implicit weight of past experiences, the defiance in the eyes. The delicate balance of keeping everything together…"

I'm Sorry: Art, protest, intervention.

“It’s all there, in the eyes.”

#SayHerNameHull

This special edition series of @WhiteRibbon_UK portraits by artist Annabel McCourt shines a light on violence against women & girls.

Please light a candle with us tonight to remember all the women lost to male violence, and join us at 11am on Saturday 30th November at Humber Street Gallery, Hull, to march and hold vigil. Together we will #SayHerName for all women killed by men in the UK since we last met.

📣 "'I'm Sorry' we still have to protest this s**t. But I'm not sorry that we do."

We've teamed up with artist Annabel McCourt, who's created a new series of 'I'm Sorry' portraits to shine a light on violence against women and girls.

Tonight, and every night this week, we will light a candle to remember all women lost to male violence. Every month, six women will be killed by men. Join us at 11am on 30/11 at Humber St Gallery in Hull to march and hold vigil.

The folks at @teachusconsent share amazing content, research and free resources from their website and across their social media channels, with the intention of "Putting consent, empathy and respect at the heart of sex education".

In the Humberside Police area, 82% of women and girls surveyed said they’d been subjected to multiple acts of violence. Only 2% of women reported never being subjected to any form of violence or abuse since their 18th birthday. Most of this violence was never reported.

This week we say, NO, again, to Violence Against Women & Girls. We say, again, that the scale of VAWG is unacceptable. We say, again, that we need more action now.

We will share stats, information, artistic intervention. We will march and hold vigil. Join us. Do not look away
