Join Callum & Craig as they welcome back returning guest, Feminist activist and artist from Switzerland, Nina Angst. In this episode, they take a long hard look at the case of Sarah Everard who was brutally murdered earlier this year in March when she was walking home. Alongside the case, the discussion also touches upon the education of young men and boys, and how important it is to ensure that the right messages are getting across to them so that the world can be a safer space for all. We also touch upon the persecution of women in society in general in the 21st century, both from an international swiss perspective and a UK perspective. This episode might be hard listening for some, and that's okay - take breaks if you need to, but the messages we put out there in this episode are done in order to educate the listener around what is a timely reminder.
Walking home is not just a woman's right, not just a man's right but a human right. Behaviour such as that displayed from Everard's murderer must be quashed and quashed quickly. We stand with Sarah Everard's family in the loss of her life that should have never happened. Our thoughts are also with the 136 families who lost a woman over the last year (2020) due to despicable actions of their killers. Due to the nature of discussion the episode is marked 'Explicit' to be on the safe side.
