18-year-old, Giorgiana Masi, was killed at a feminist demonstration for legal abortion in 1977 in Rome, Italy. Her killer was never found.
Women placed a plaque on the spot she died on the Trastevere side of the Garibaldi bridge. Ana Noon has translated the plaque:
If the October Revolution
had only been in May.
If you were still alive
if I weren’t powerless in front of your murder
If my pen were a winning weapon
if my fear could explode in the streets
courage born of rage strangled in my throat
If having known you could become our strength
If the flowers that we gave
to your courageous life in our death
at least had become garlands
of the struggle of women
Then… it wouldn’t be words searching for life
but life itself without adding anything.-anonymous

"You criticize a woman’s body—and young girls see it, you murder us all inside. You are responsible for our slow genocide."

I had to listen to Bikini Kill to write this, so I wouldn’t cry.
