Last Saturday evening in the UK, thousands of women gathered to mourn the life of Sarah Everard, who was taken from the street and killed while walking home at about 9pm on the evening of 3 March. Everard’s abduction and the confirmation of her death prompted a wave of grief in Britain. Despair for the 33-year-old combined with fury that violent men still make the streets a dangerous place to be a woman. It also prompted thousands on social media to share the heartbreaking truth that male harassment of women is a daily occurrence. Will this moment – and the anger felt by women – prompt men to change their behaviour?
We look back at the fallout from the case in the UK as well as at protests around the world: from the women taking fury about femicide to the heart of Mexican politics, to the women in Australia, roiled by two rape accusations, who also demonstrated last weekend in Canberra.
