. Women Fight Back! We Believe Her! Enough Is Enough!! . Women dont feel safe...its a fact! I will think twice abt going out alone at night in Perth. Back in my former hometown London, Sarah Everard was just walking home alone!!! We are not being protected against predators!! . . . #march4justiceAU #EnoughIsEnough #EqualRights #Australia

The quote in the photo above does not have much relation to the caption. I had something else planned originally, but a lot of things have happened between then and now. The theme for International Women’s Day this year is #ChooseToChallenge. It’s also Women’s History Month this March. Besides celebrating the achievements of women, it’s also a time to highlight the struggles still faced by women. If you’ve been reading the news at all over the past week, you’d know there’s a ton of work needed to ensure the safety of women everywhere. The worst bit is that what happened to Sarah Everard could have happened to anyone 😔 That’s just one of the issues women face each day. It takes men too to speak up and intervene when things don’t seem right. Have conversations to understand where women are coming from and don’t be quick to dismiss what they’re saying. Teach kids to respect one another from a young age. These are all small steps, but it’s a start. We just want to be safe. PS: This was part of some wallpapers I designed for IWD recently. If you’d like to see the rest, I’ll put it in my stories and you can also save and use them if you want. Thanks to the wonderful team at Kenanga for the trust.

【英國】為讓女性更安全 上議院女議員建議男人6點後宵禁 近日英國發生一單女子失蹤案件，搞到全城女性人心惶惶，唔少女網友藉此喺網上抒發獨自出門經歷及恐懼。對此，英國綠黨左翼上議院議員Baroness Jones就打算趁機提出一項修正案，建議對男性實施晚上6點後宵禁。 據外媒THE SUN報導，早前喺英國，一名33歲女子Sarah Everard喺3月3號夜晚返屋企途中人間蒸發，屋企人隨即報警並四處張貼尋人啟事。事隔約一個禮拜後，警方喺當事人住所附近森林發現一具遺體，但未知係咪Sarah Everard，身份仍有待確認。 Sarah Everard失蹤案喺英國引起廣泛討論，有唔少女性藉此喺網上抒發自己平時獨自出街經歷及恐懼。對此，近日英國綠黨左翼上議院議員Baroness Jones於議會上表示，打算提出一項修正案，禁止男性晚上6點後出街，藉此令女性更安全，同時減少各種歧視。 後來佢喺Twitter解釋，之所以會咁講，係為咗反擊警方「建議女性夜晚唔好出街」嘅講法。並表示從佢講完「男性宵禁」睇法後，Twitter就出現好多仇女及歧視留言，令佢無法忽視性別問題。 資料來源：THE SUN
