This is one of four sites in the city. As well as remembering Sarah, it shows those in power that women’s safety needs to be a priority.

This is my wonderful Great Uncle George, he is 63 today.
He loves Elvis more than anything else and lives with his sister Josie & family.
When he was born the life expectancy of someone with Down’s syndrome was 10.
I think he’s amazing 💚

For young journalists trying to carve out a career, it's a lost opportunity.

No period isn’t normal, ignoring hunger cues isn’t normal, exercising for hours a day isn’t normal.
Women need body fat to ovulate, hunger is a sign to eat and you won’t look like your teenage self as a woman.

No longer skirt, sobriety, phone in hand or choice of shoe will make you safe from a person seeking to assault a lone woman.
You should not need to change your behaviour to avoid sexual assault.
