A "Reclaim the Streets" vigil is being held for two murdered sisters in a call to end violence against women.
Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, were murdered on June 6 last year by woman-hater Danyal Hussein.
Hussein, 19, knifed Bibaa eight times and Nicole 28 times at Fryent Country Park, Wembley, in North London.
This evening's 7pm vigil is being held at the same park where the sisters' bodies were found.
The sisters had spent the night with friends celebrating Ms Smallman’s birthday by enjoying a picnic and watching the sunset at the park.
Bibaa and Nicole arrived together at about 7pm carrying plastic bags containing food and alcohol. They were joined by at least six friends and spent the night in high spirits dancing and listening to music.
The last of their friends left the park at about midnight, but the sisters stayed later, continuing to take pictures while dancing with fairy lights.
Reclaim the Streets group tweeted the vigil was to "remember the lives of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman surrounded by the people they loved, and to light a candle for all the women threatened on our streets and lost to male violence."
After the sisters were reported missing, their mother questioned whether a delay in finding their bodies was because they were two missing Black women.
Mina Smallman, who was the Church of England’s first female archdeacon of Black and minority ethnic descent, questioned why the death of her daughters hadn't sparked the same level of outrage and attention as the kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard.
She told the BBC : “Other people have more kudos in this world than people of colour.”
Mina said she now has two roles in her life– “mother and activist” – and will continue to fight for change.
Ludovica Orlando, one of the campaigners behind Reclaim These Streets, said she was inspired Mina's words to organise a vigil for the sisters.
She told the Huffington Post : "After seeing the discrepancy in coverage between the Sarah Everard case and the murders of Bibaa and Nicole and hearing Mina Smallman’s BBC interview, we felt that the way we could most be of service to their family was to use the spotlight that we had been given to help shine a light on her girls’ lives."
