Speak My Name is an annual project of ZeroV, Kentucky’s state coalition of domestic violence programs.
For the lives and futures of all Kentuckians, we must commit ourselves to ending intimate partner violence during DVAM and beyond.
Disclaimer: As of July 2023, per KRS 209A.122, the KY Justice and Public Safety Cabinet started producing an annual Domestic Violence Report containing anonymized data about intimate partner homicides from the previous calendar year. ZeroV will continue the tradition of humanizing and honoring the memory of those Kentuckians who lost their lives to a partner or ex-partner through this less formal Speak My Name list. ZeroV attempts to track domestic violence-related homicides in Kentucky through various sources such as reports from our member programs, news articles, and internet searches. The method is far from perfect. Please be aware that most reports come at the beginning of the law enforcement/court process, at which point an individual has been charged with homicide. We make no representation of the outcome of these cases or whether the charged individual is found guilty of criminal activity.
