A vigil and flashmob ended more than two weeks of activism against violence towards women in Dundee - amid the most interest in the issue to date according to local experts.
The city's programme of events to mark the United Nations' 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence was rounded off with the display outside V&A Dundee, as other buildings across the city lit up in support of victims of violence.
Oor Fierce Girls was involved in the choreography and performance at the vigil, which also saw the names of women and girls killed by men read out.
The group was established by local teenage girls to promote healthy attitudes towards women.
Ann Hamilton, chair of the Dundee Violence Against Women Partnership, said: “The 16 Days campaign helps to shed light on what has for too long been something that has gone on in the shadows.
“The increasing awareness levels continues to help build up pressure, not only on the men who commit these acts, but also empowers other men to call it out.
“Bringing the full glare of scrutiny to bear on perpetrators, systems and physical spaces which enable male violence against women and children is making a difference.”
Dundee's series of activities marking the 16 Days began with the city's biggest ever Reclaim The Night march, with over 500 people taking to the streets to call for an end to violence against women and children.
Since then, other events have included a feminist songwriting workshop hosted by Dundee's own Be Charlotte, talks on mental health and violence as well as the creation of artworks.
The city was also recognised last week at a national awards ceremony for its work in supporting the victims of domestic violence.
Activism against violence on women has been fuelled by the murder of Sarah Everard, who was kidnapped and killed by Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens as she walked home in London earlier this year.
Katie Hardy-Jensen, centre manager of support charity WRASAC, previously told Dundee Live: "After Sarah Everard, our politicians and people in charge said they were going to do something about women's safety even though Sarah was number 23 in a list of murdered women this year that's now 128 long.
"The #MeToo movement kicked the conversation off again but we didn't see change from that. A lot of lip service has been paid.
"The key thing for people to understand is that this is not a women's issue - this is everybody's issue.
"We need men to stand with us - for men to challenge other men on their behaviour, and to stand with us in solidarity and sympathy."
