An artist who is painting portraits of 118 women killed by men in a year has said she wants people to “remember” that the victims “aren’t just names”.

Artist and illustrator Henny Beaumont, 54, is working with the Centre for Women’s Justice and the Femicide Census to memorialise the women killed between March 11 2020 and March 11 2021.
