#Sarah Everard

The horrific murder of Sarah Everard has led to renewed calls to urgently address the underlying attitudes that lead to men’s abuse of women.

Even if you have already responded, take this opportunity to tell them again to recognise pornography and all forms of the sex industry as directly feeding the attitudes that lead to discrimination, harassment, abuse and assault – not only for women in the sex trade but for all women and girls.
