Angry this morning on behalf of all women, the runners amongst us who can’t do the same route two days in a row, who change the departure times, who run with keys in hand, who have friends on speed dial, who run forward while regularly checking backwards

On sexual harassment allegations made of Boris Johnson’s father, Nadine Dorries said “I don’t believe it happened. It never happened to me. Perhaps there is something wrong with me.”
Let’s unpack why this is so dangerous:
On Tuesday night I was attacked by three men when I went on a run.
I should be able to go out at night without the threat of being assaulted.
People should feel safe no matter what time . Things need to change.
And people wonder why women are so scared to go out. Broad daylight, in a public place with cctv, and people around.. yet they’re still attacked/confronted. They also tried to avoid the confrontation.
