THE

murder of Sabina Nessa is a brutal and depressing reminder that our streets are not as safe as they should be for women. I don’t worry about myself so much. But my daughter is 18: every time she walks out the front door, she’s at risk. Of course, such predators have always existed (let’s not forget Suzy Lamplugh or Rachel Nickell). What I hope is different now is that there are a number of women in positions of real power – the Duchess of Cambridge and Carrie Johnson, to name but two – who will make sure this issue is finally taken seriously.
