No 6. Violent Women 2011 Series
Links to News Articles about Abusive and Violent Women.
Here it is June 30th and I am finally doing up the file for the 2011 Violent Women News Articles.
This has been a tough year for me, and I began to record stories quite late in the piece and wasn't sure if I wanted to do another Series, but as I have been updating all my files this year, I realised that I should do another series of links.
Because I started so late; did not spend much time reading the news, and was not compiling records month by month, I have this year just hyperlinked the date of the article.
I have also created a page that provides the 6 years of links so that you can easily access any year from 2006 to 2011.
Thank you to those people who have been researching female violence and who wrote in to thank me for making so much information available. That's half the job isn't it?
