RIP we still think of you and stand with you.
It is fifteen years today since Sophie died. After thirteen days in hospital and after tests confirmed there was no hope, the machines were switched off. Twenty minutes later, Sophie died. That is the truth about violence and hate crime and that is where it takes us.
To a young woman having her life extinguished for what reason? Because she was an individual and looked like she wanted to. To all those other individuals out there who support us, who turned Bloodstock into a pink sea of love and support, who come to events and message us in solidarity, thank you. We are strong together.
Sylvia made our work her legacy. This is the first anniversary of Sophie’s death since we lost Sylvia.
We will continue to educate about prejudice and intolerance and work to shape a more empathetic world where we celebrate difference and are not afraid of it.
Sophie and Sylvia Rest in Peace
