In the wake of Sarah Everard's death, we found ourselves once again discussing the issue of women's safety with our girlfriends. The reoccurring problems are all too familiar. Whether it's being harassed by strangers, shamed by the public, or intimidated by people in power, women unfortunately have been forced to adapt to a life of inequality. In this episode, we are sharing the stories of our female friends to demonstrate the many varieties of harassment and assault we encounter regularly. We are raising awareness and offering suggestions on what men can do to help women feel more safe.
