The disappearance of Owami Davies is finally making headlines. It is sad to say but it’s become commonplace in this country for justice only to be done after the fact when it comes to the protection of black and brown women.
Before we even knew Davies’s name I suspect she was already being let down by the system and the people that are meant to care for women like her. The right questions are being asked about the shortcomings of the Met, but the reality is that the Met is not the only institution letting down women — especially women of colour.
