This story took hours upon hours of data work from the brilliant @sarah_turnnidge. It shows pretty conclusively why journalists need to stop relying on press releases from the Met. https://t.co/JdazSLkmNN
Monday: happy international women’s day! Women should feel empowered to call out bullying and abuse.
Tuesday: how dare a woman speak out about something that’s had a huge impact on her mental health?
Wednesday: if women choose to walk home alone then they put themselves at risk.
Please remember Blessing Olusegun, whose body was found on a beach in Sussex last year. Her death remains unexplained. The police said there was nothing to investigate.
Don’t walk home but don’t get a taxi and don’t use public transportation. Don’t refuse to go out with men because they deserve a chance and don’t leave early but don’t go home alone after dark and don’t carry protection because that’s offensive but why didn’t you defend yourself.
On the anniversary where one woman took her own life after being hounded by the media, this is the headline a paper ran about a woman chased out of the country by the media who announced her pregnancy yesterday, after suffering a miscarriage last year. Let that sink in.
