3 Years On From Sarah Everard’s Tragic Murder, A Man Still Kills A Woman Every 3 Days In The UK. Where Is The Accountability?

Like many women in the darkest days of lockdown, I lit a candle for Sarah Everard. The symbolism was not lost on me: a candle can be placed in a window to guide travellers home, but Sarah was not afforded that basic right to safety. It has been three years since her abduction, rape, and murder horrified the nation and the world, but many of us will never forget this young woman and the crimes committed against her by a serving police officer.

Three years ago, the Sarah Everard case prompted impassioned discussions about violent misogyny. Could this be a watershed moment? we wondered while looking at the front pages. Infuriatingly, campaigners’ hopes have turned to despair. A woman is still killed by a man every three days in the UK on average. After Couzens’s conviction, multiple police officers have been imprisoned for crimes that include rape, grooming and sharing photos of female murder victims.
