Safety Matters
Laken Riley was running in daylight. She had her phone with her. She wasn’t running in a “dangerous” neighborhood. Her friends had access to her location. Her friends and family knew where she was going.
She called 911. She fought for 18 minutes, for her life.
Women should never fear running, walking, doing things alone. It doesn’t matter what she looks like, what she’s doing, or whether she “did everything right.”
This isn't irrational women's fear, this is reality. We live with a pit in our stomach, anywhere and any time we are alone.
We don't have the luxury of feeling safe.
That means EVERYONE is suspicious and kindness is always questioned.
Its our best chance of survival.
Online is similar, chatting with someone for a long time may build trust but that someone could still be the next potential killer and we have no way to know that.
This is why no one needs to know where I live or what I do cause we will never be meeting in person.
