The group that created the monument said they are 'taking this attack on our work as a prompt to fight back and not be silenced.’ 👏

The monument had poetry engraved into a six-foot art piece protesting violence against women and girls

The handmade, six-foot, hexagonal installation had poems engraved on the sides which provided holes for light to shine through at night. But now, the park has been left without the extra light and a pile of black ashes where the sculpture once stood. But the group went on to say they would be motivated by their ‘rightful anger’, adding: ‘We are taking this attack on our work as a prompt to fight back and not be silenced.’The sculpture was torched and completely destroyed on the evening of August 21 Activists have left signs on the burnt remains of the sculpture which read: ‘This won’t stop us.’
