A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK , says Jess Phillips .

The minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls says tackling femicide is a key part of Labour 's new policy.

She says it is a herculean task’ which is like pushing at an open door’ to the government.

Counting Dead Women read out names of every woman killed by a man each year for the past decade .

Karen Ingala Smith , co-founder of the Femicide Census , said Phillips understood the “scale, complexity and breadth” of the problem.

Phillips said she was weary’ of the task last year and is hopeful’ that the list will no longer be needed.
