Crowds have gathered outside the Scottish Parliament as part of a memorial protest marking the anniversary of the murder of Sarah Everard.
Ms Everard was killed by serving police officer Wayne Couzens, who carried out a 'false arrest' by pretending she had broken the Covid-19 lockdown.
Couzens used his handcuffs and warrant card to snatch the 33-year-old as she walked home from visiting a friend in Clapham, south London, on the evening of March 3.
The sexual predator, who had clocked off from a 12-hour shift that morning, went on to rape and strangle the marketing executive.
A year on from her tragic death, protesters have gathered in her memory and in tribute to other women killed at the hands of male violence. They pledged to "put pressure on those in power".
While Ms Everard's killing in March 2021 sparked outrage across the country, campaigner Rachel Chung said 12 months on "nothing has changed".
To applause, Ms Chung said: "We're not here looking to become martyrs, I don't want to be a poster, I don't want to front a news campaign. I don't want to die.
"I want to wake up in the morning and know that I am treated like a person."
Together with Alice Jackson, she was inspired to form Strut Safe in the wake of Ms Everard's murder, with volunteers from the group providing a free service to help women walk home safely in Edinburgh, along with phone support in the rest of the UK.
Speaking at the rally, Ms Chung insisted: "We're punching up, we're here to put pressure on those in power, and if those in power are not prepared to listen then we will leave them behind.
"As long as we are out here protesting, as long as I can look out into this crowd and see all of you come out here, then I have hope, I have radical hope that we will see change.
"Because we're not going to give up. There are more of us than there are of them, and because we are stronger than they are."
With politicians mingling with demonstrators among the crowd, one mother took the chance to demand change.
Jessica Ross attended the rally with three of her children, who were carrying flowers to remember Ms Everard.
As they were photographed, she shouted: "A picture is awesome, but I shouldn't have had to drag them out and explain why she (Sarah Everard) died."
SNP MP Hannah Bardell told the crowd that male violence "continues to be a huge and pervasive issue".
The Livingston MP added: "We have a problem in society across the UK. If we continue to ask what a woman was wearing, how drunk the woman was, how the woman got home, we are not going to take on the challenges we face of misogyny and male violence in our society.
"As long as we blame women for the actions of violent men, rather than changing society to challenge the actions of violent men, women and girls will continue to live with the restrictions and fear of male violence.
"Because it doesn't matter if we are just walking home, or out for a run in the middle of the night, or dancing down the street in our knickers, we should be able to live our lives without fear of being murdered."
Labour MSP Monica Lennon said: "We are here tonight to remember Sarah Everard, but I hope we are here tonight to rage against the system, to rage against the patriarchy, to rage against those men who make us feel unsafe."
The Central Scotland MSP said the rally was "also about all the other women who don't get a mention, the women who were murdered behind closed doors by the people that they loved and trusted".
Ms Lennon said: "We say tonight 'enough is enough'.
"Tonight we are here to show respect, we are here to remember, but we are here to rage against the system."
Dozens of women have also gathered for a march in memory of Sarah Everard in Clapham, south London, where she was abducted by the Metropolitan Police officer one year ago.
Organiser Madison Hall, 25, told the PA news agency the March aims to "give the community an opportunity to come together to commemorate all victims of gendered violence".
A similar rally is also taking place outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery in central Glasgow.
