I suppose one might ask for contributions from individuals (of any gender) RE: women they've known who've been murdered by intimate partners - whether the woman killed was a relative, friend, former lover, etc. of the contributor. That would seem to provide the personal, human aspect you're looking for.

Just a thought. This is an idea I'd like to encourage any way I can - putting a human face on the problem tends to make it more "real," and perhaps more urgent as well.
