Happy international women's day. This year to celebrate it, I'm sharing a photo of a woman called 'Sarah Everard', sadly Sarah is no longer with us because a serving Met police officer murdered her last year. I will not mention his name, he deserves to be forgotten, but while Sarah was walking home one evening in South London, a serving Met police officer arrested Sarah, and told her he was arresting her for breaking Covid-19 regulations; this officer then kidnapped Sarah, raped her and strangled her to death, before burning her body and disposing of her remains in a pond. This officer was caught and is now in prison.
Sarah was a beautiful young woman who had her whole life in front of her, but she was murdered because of this toxic masculinity that seems to be growing all over the world. Lots of men need to be taught its not ok to hurt someone who is vulnerable and weaker than you. Thankfully there are still some good men out there, but they seem to be a dying breed, and we need to change this. Today on this international women's day, I remember Sarah Everard, and all the victims around the world of male aggression, violence and toxic masculinity, and I pay respect to the good men who know how to behave like a true gentleman.
