Years to Restore Trust

The tragic death of Sarah Everard has sent shockwaves through society, highlighting once again the pervasive issue of violence against women. As we grieve the loss of a young woman who was simply walking home, we are forced to confront the uncomfortable truth that women are not safe in public spaces.

Restoring trust in our communities will not happen overnight. It will take years of dedication, advocacy, and meaningful change to create a world where women can feel safe and respected. We must hold perpetrators accountable, educate our youth on consent and respect, and dismantle harmful patriarchal notions that perpetuate gender-based violence.

As we mourn Sarah Everard and countless other victims of violence, let us dedicate ourselves to building a more equitable and just society. It will take time, effort, and solidarity, but together we can create a future where all people, regardless of gender, can live without fear.

May Sarah Everard’s memory be a catalyst for change, a reminder of the work that must be done to ensure a world where everyone can walk home safely.
