Those in attendance spoke about their experiences and how more needs to be done to protect women in society.

Placards that remained on the Flag Market include “My safety, my night, my rights”, “Women’s rights are human rights”, and “I also like women and I don’t harass them”.

One week later, her remains were discovered in woodland near Ashford in Kent. A Metropolitan Police office has been charged with kidnapping and murder.
