What is the Day of Mourning?

Every year on March 1st, the disability community comes together to remember the
victims of filicide – people with disabilities killed by their family members.
Vigils are held on the Day of Mourning in cities around the world.

What is filicide?

“Filicide” is the legal term for a parent murdering their child. In the
disability community, “filicide” is used when talking about a parent or other
relative or household member killing a child or adult relative with a
disability, by action or inaction. Legally, these cases are categorized as
murder, manslaughter, or simply homicide.

When we say “filicide,” we are talking about a pattern of violence that starts
when a parent or caregiver murders their child or adult relative with a
disability and continues in how these murders are reported, discussed,
justified, excused, and replicated.

Please be aware that this website contains images and names of people who have
passed in photographs and printed material. Sorry Business is a set of
traditions and ceremonies followed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people regarding the loss of a loved one. Sorry Business includes the practice
of not using the deceased person’s name. We want to respect and honor this
custom. There is no standard period of time, it is based on the grieving period
of the family and friends. For victims who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait
islander, we will look for the person’s wishes, and if that is not available,
mirror the language that Australian Aboriginal groups are using. If there are no
sources from Australian Aboriginal groups, we will use the same wording as local
news sources.

Care); Death and Sorry Business (Common Ground)
