I don’t think I can fully explain how people feel about the verdict that Reclaim These Streets (RTS) received on Friday. The Met’s decision to ban the vigil we had planned to mark the murder of Sarah Everard was found to be “flawed at every single step of the process”. It comes as no surprise to many attendees.
It’s been a year since the vigil for Sarah Everard. Since then we’ve had many empty promises from the Government on how they were going to tackle violence against women and girls. When people turned up to the vigil, some were angry that we had been told to stay indoors and not attend.
