Re: Sarah Everard
the reality is that an attack out of the blue is shocking .People aren’t prepared for it .
Especially today where people walk about with headphones on they are divorced from outside signals of dangers .
More effective and loud alarms needed
Some employers are aware of this
Ie All M and S employees are issued with alarms to carry in their pockets .
Perhaps everyone should have a tracker on their person .
I believe that the royal family have trackers in their childrens ‘ clothing .

Sometimes sexual deviants display behaviour that can escalate so they may start off with self exposure/'peeping tom' activity then progress to rape or murder. So any deviant behaviour should be noted .
When I was a teenager a man, who kept offering me a lift in his car, became so desperate that he exposed himself to me. I told him to get lost & ran home .....about 200 yards away! My parents would have never let me out of the house again, if I told them, so I told the younger policeman I used to baby sit for about it! He took all the details & didn't mention it to my parents, but a few weeks later he said I didn't need to go to court as he has been arrested, following reports from lots of other women, and was serving time in prison!
Men like that are pathetic perverts & will probably never change! I don't want to think what trauma this poor young woman may have gone through, but her parents must wonder and are probablu going though hell!

I have an aerosol canister of Deep Heat spray (which is for sore muscles), and I keep it handy in my backpack for when I have cramp in my calf muscles. It's legal to carry, but a faceful of that would REALLY discourage any attacker as well as give them a nice, strong smell.

It’s incomprehensible why any woman would take that risk ,unless of course it was heaving with people and we know that wouldn’t have been so ,given lockdown .
As it was she was seen after that so surely there must have been some interaction between the two of them?
I know we see on tv women and men being bundled into cars but not by a lone person .

Re: Sarah Everard
To say it happens to men as well is minimising what women endure. Men might think this or that area is dodgy and avoid it but women have to think about these things *all the time*, not just now and again.Today on The World at One it was said that in a survey, one third of girls had been sexually harassed in co-Ed schools by boys. One third! Either a few boys are very busy or there are many boys who have no respect for females.
Read this article about a woman being harassed whilst picking her child up from school. Not ‘provocatively’ dressed, day time, other people around, with a child.
Has any man ever been subjected to this kind of behaviour?

Ah, so it was her own fault she was murdered, because she crossed a park on her own?
