Content Warning: fillicide

What is the Day of Mourning?

Every year on March 1st, the disability community comes together to remember the victims of filicide – people with disabilities murdered by their family members. Vigils are held on the Day of Mourning in cities around the world.

We will spend the evening remembering those in our community lost to filicide, and reading the names of those lost.

For more information about filicide and DDoM, check out our Anti-Filicide Toolkit (linked below). You can follow conversations about DDOM by checking out these hashtags:
