Women in south London share their experiences following the death of Sarah Everard

Daily Mail  

Women have opened up about their experiences of being harassed and feeling unsafe following the death of Sarah Everard. ELLA, 26, CLAPHAM, NURSE Ella, 26, outside her home in Clapham, said a man stopped his car to ask for her number and got aggressive when she gave him a fake one, making her fear for her life 'Whether it’s a beep of a horn, noticing the turn of a head once you’ve walked past or an unwanted comment, I, and so many women, live with this every single day. Maddy, 25, from Clapham, said she had had to change Tube carriage or take the long way home in order to feel safe MADDY, 25, CLAPHAM, DEPUTY EDITOR 'It’s hard to articulate the fear that women live with on a daily basis. 'I’ve been really moved hearing my friends and other women’s experiences of sexual harassment and assault this week and they’ve forced me to re-evaluate the everyday so-called ‘safety-tools’ that have been ingrained in us from childhood – the sharing of live locations, the ‘text me when you get home’ messages, the real phone calls. 'Can you just let us know if you’re alive' 'Funny how literally harmless DMs can make you feel unsafe' OLIVIA, 20, STOCKWELL, WAITRESS Olivia, 20, from Stockwell, said she is scared of going on blind dates and meeting new men after being harassed several time by men, including once on a Tinder date 'I have dealt with harassment from men on the streets, harassment from men I have worked with, harassment on the Tubes, buses and taxis all of my life and I’m only 20.
