You would be stunned at how many women in this city fear being raped or being seriously sexually assaulted. That’s because, in my experience, so many women have either actually been sexually assaulted or know somebody who has. This fear impacts every aspect of our lives and I can tell you personally that the mental gymnastics you have do on a daily basis to feel safe are exhausting. And to be honest, we all know that there is nothing we can do to feel safe because it’s not us who are at fault but the men who seek to do us harm.
