02.01.2022 Destroyers, although news gathering has been challenging this year, the death toll due to violence against women continues and police investigations do not stop.... Today with great sadness we report the outcome of an investigation which has been ongoing since April. Now, on Day 6 of #16DaysOfActivism against gender-based violence, we update our register of known deaths due to violence against women in 2020, which now stands at 46. : 14 2020, . On 28 April Kobie Parfitt (43) was last seen alive at a property in Hickman Street, Ballarat (Victoria). After receiving information from the public police now believe she was murdered that same day. Ms Parfitt has not accessed her bank account since she was last seen or used her mobile phone, which is now disconnected. Police believe more people have information around what happened to Ms Parfitt and who was responsible for her death: they are asking continued public assistance in bringing culprits to justice. No further details are available at this time. https://tinyurl.com/y3se5w7v We extend our deepest sympathy to family and friends. Destroyers, these posts honour the memory of women who have died in tragic circumstances. We do moderate closely and off topic comments will be hidden. Off topic includes: speculation as to motivation, actions, background, mental state and drug or alcohol use of the alleged perpetrator; calls for violent retribution; offensive remarks to other posters; and any comment which may impact on court proceedings. We are currently monitoring several deaths, some of which date back over months and years. We try to be accurate in our record, and we will not publish without a high degree of certainty, but we can't know the full circumstances of each death until court cases or coronial hearings are finalised. We do our best to maintain a full and accurate register, based on our recording criteria. If you know of any verified facts which may add detail to our record, please send us a **personal message**. , . We have no wish to prejudice the outcome of court proceedings. Women from all backgrounds are counted but we make no assumptions about a woman's culture, lifestyle or circumstances. We often do not even know a name: this may be out of respect for cultural traditions or because of a court order. We add updated information to our annual registers as soon as it is received and verified.

We do not record only deaths attributed as domestic or family violence, as we believe all violent deaths targeted against women are the result of societal misogyny. We include women killed by other women (lateral violence). Their relatively small but equally sad number confirms that most violence against women is perpetrated by men. ------------------------------------------------------- - If you or someone you know is impacted by sexual assault, domestic or family violence, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit https://www.1800respect.org.au/ - For information about local services download the free Daisy App https://www.1800respect.org.au/daisy/ - Accessible information and support is available via the free Sunny App which has been developed for and by women with disability https://www.1800respect.org.au/sunny/ - For Aboriginal Family Domestic Violence Hotline, call 1800 019 123 - For legal information, visit the Family Violence Law Help website: https://familyviolencelaw.gov.au ** In an emergency, call 000.
