“Let’s curfew after 6 o’clock”…

British society is infested with women’s safety issues On the 3rd, a woman in her 30s was kidnapped or killed in London.

On the 13th (local time), the British Daily Guardian and the BBC reported that British American women were angry with the disappearance of British marketing expert Sarah Everard, 33.

Everard stopped by a friend’s house in Clapham in southern London on the night of the 3rd and disappeared on the way home on foot. The last sighting was seen on the road heading to Tullelle Hill around 9:30 that night. He was found dead on the 10th in a forest near eastern Kent, 80 km away from the last sighting site.

Police arrested London police officer Wayne Coozens, 48, as a suspect in this case. Initially, the police arrested Kuzens on charges of kidnapping and then charged with murder.

Coojeons was identified as a police officer belonging to the’parliament and diplomatic protection unit’ in charge of the security of government buildings, parliament and diplomatic-related buildings. Apart from this incident, London police said he was arrested on charges of obscene exposure on the 28th of last month.

This incident aroused sympathy for women’s safety issues in the Anglo-American region. Women shared their experiences of feeling threatened safety in everyday life on social media (SNS) and commemorated Everard.

In an Instagram post, a woman pointed out, “It’s a habit to tell family and friends if any woman has arrived safely at home and where they are.”

Another netizen is ▶When you are alone in a public place, have you ever wondered who is not around? ▶Have you ever pretended to answer a phone call when there was a suspicious man nearby? ▶Aren’t you always holding car keys and self-defense supplies in your hand? I also asked back.

In the midst of this, some argued that it was wrong for Everard to return home late at night in the first place, sparking anger among women. Some police even urged women not to go out alone at night.

In response, women burst into anger, saying, “Is it normal that even walking alone at night is not safe?”

Grace Jessup, 31, who lived in the village where Everard was missing, told BBC Radio, “I learned to change my behavior from a very young age to protect myself.” “It’s a daily life to be a target of sexual harassment.”

“This is the reality of women who have been experiencing since the age of 14,” he said. “Now I am seeing many women openly saying that they are’tired enough’ with this reality.”

Amid fierce opposition from women, Green Party Rep. Jenny Jones said to limit men’s curfew to 6 p.m. and got caught up in controversy. In a Senate debate, Jones argued, “We need to make women safer by implementing a 6pm curfew for men on the streets of London.”

Accordingly, there was a backlash among citizens of “reverse discrimination against men.” As the controversy grew, Jones pointed out that “it was in response to the argument that women should refrain from going out alone at night,” and “it is common for women like Everard to be kidnapped on city streets.”
