729 (and counting)

729 (and counting) women and girls in the U.S. allegedly lost their lives to femicide in 2024. Based on the meticulous data collected by Dawn Wilcox from Women Count USA, this interactive visualization shows each life represented as a unique flower, marking their individuality and absence. This is an effort in Data + Emotion, to bring humanity back to a widely reductionist practice as human lives are not always confined to numerical representations.

Use the slider (top right) to navigate through dates in 2024. Click on any flower to learn more about her. Click anywhere else to return to the full view. Scroll down to see all names.
