The family murder that launched our campaign
ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Inspirations 2020 winners: Brothers Luke and Ryan Hart are changing the way domestic abuse is reported in the media after their mum and sister were murdered by their father.
Brothers Luke and Ryan Hart spent years trying to help their mum leave their abusive father. However, just a few days after they succeeded, their father killed her and their sister. Determined that something good would come out of the horror of their situation, they started a campaign to raise awareness of domestic abuse and to change the way it's reported in the media. The brothers now train journalists and have helped to create the UK's first media guidelines for reporting fatal domestic abuse alongside the feminist organisation, Level Up.
Emily Webb caught up with Luke and Ryan to name them two of the winners of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Inspirations 2020. For full details of the awards and Covid-19 related changes, please check the revised terms on our website: www.bbcworldservice.com/inspirations.
