It is a sentiment common to women all over the world, now expressed collectively. Each tells its story, in words, but also by taking to the streets for a vigil, despite the anti Covid regulations. All for Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old woman who was kidnapped and killed in London while returning alone on foot on March 3 at 9.30pm in the Clapham area. Only days later his body was found in a wood near Ashford, Kent. Wayne Couzen, 48, a police officer of the parliamentary and diplomatic squad, was charged with the kidnapping and murder.

On social media, hundreds of women have told their stories and hundreds have taken to the streets for one wakefulness. In many places in Britain there have been demonstrations with distancing. The most crowded one, in the area where Sarah disappeared, was blocked by the police even with methods considered violent.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan wrote that “Clapham Common’s scenes are unacceptable. The police have the duty to enforce the restrictions decided against Covid, but from the images I have seen it is evident how the reaction was, at times, inappropriate and disproportionate “.
The scenes from Clapham Common are unacceptable. The police have a responsibility to enforce Covid laws but from images I’ve seen it’s clear the response was at times neither appropriate nor proportionate. I’m contact with the Commissioner & urgently seeking an explanation.

In women’s stories there are cases of violence, but also vulgar comments, tricks that shouldn’t be used and strategies to avoid being followed. As if the woman had to be, by force, ready to defend herself. As if it were natural to be afraid to go out. The writer and journalist of the Times Caitlin Moran said a curfew remains for women in 2021. «My day” out “ends at sunset. If I have not gone out with the dog or to run and it is dark I give up »reports Corriere della Sera.
Also Kate Middleton she went to the memorial because, the Mirror wrote, reporting a source from the Palace, “she remembers what it was like to walk the streets of London at night, before marrying Prince William.” It is still a daily matter for many women who think about how they are dressed, what shoes they wear, what route they take and how many lights there are to go home.
Before Couzen’s arrest the police had done so an appeal to women not to leave the house and this too has been disputed. Women are always asked to change their habits and be careful, not men not to be violent.
