Prayer for Women Murdered by their Spouses

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is marked on November 25th.
In Shira Hadisha, as in many shuls, this day is marked on an adjacent Shabbat by saying "A prayer for the women of Israel that were murdered by their spouses", following the Prayer for the Welfare of the State of Israel.
This prayer was composed by our member, Yael Levine.
The prayer, as well as an article about it, may be found in the following link: http://www.kolech.com/show.asp?id=24125
