Basildon Women's Aid has eight life-sized Silent Witnesses, each one represents one of the eight
victims - one male and seven females - that were killed in one year by domestic violence in Essex.
The red Silent Witnesses carry an inscription with details of the sex, age and details of how they died. Under the inscription is the message "To love, honour and obey till death do us part.  Each of the Silent Witnesses represents a real person who once lived, loved, hoped and dreamed just like you and I.  Every one of the Silent Witnesses was murdered by the very person who professed to love them".
