This woman is a hero. A nurse in Texas is documenting the epidemic of women murdered

I wondered why she started the project and found it in the Guardian article:

Men have to start understanding how profoundly this affects all women, and why women "over-react" (by some views) to male displays of "power and privilege". It's sensible in the extreme for women to know that there are many men (not most, but we can't always tell who) who will resort to violence, and the lack of interest by the justice system and the culture just make this more tense.

Dawn's a heroine-- someone who notices and cares.

disparate information.

With thousands of communities in the country, many without a local news source, we'd never know if someone doesn't take the time to track.

"The House just overwhelmingly approved a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, the United States’ landmark legislation funding programs meant to prevent and prosecute abuse against women. It did so in the face of staunch opposition from the National Rifle Association, which argued that a new provision in the bill barring dating partners convicted of abuse and stalking from owning firearms went too far."
"There’s very discrete provisions that relate to protecting women’s safety. And they’re against it,” Pelosi said, according to Roll Call. “I don’t see that it has much impact on the passage of the bill in the House of Representatives.”

that has shows all day about murders. (ID - Investigative Discovery) Most of the victims are women. Some are tossed onto the side of the road like garbage, buried in shallow graves, and covered with leaves.

I am so glad someone is bringing this to light. It is accepted that some men will kill some women - for whatever crazy reason is in their head. I am not aware of any attempts to change this in our society on a political level. Good for Dawn Wilcox.

Growing up, our city had the Green River Killer and Ted Bundy. But there were individual crimes also taking place. This is just sick.

It happens much too often and is not talked about enough. If I hear one more man say "but men are victims too!" I am going to scream. Almost every day I get up and hear about another woman or girl who has gone missing or is dead, or near dead and the perp is a man 99% of the time. I am so sick of it.

Thank you Dawn for doing this important work!
