Every woman has probably heard this sentence before when she went home alone at night. But why it is being shared thousands of times on social media right now, you can find out in the video.
Fear of going home: Being out alone at night gives many women a queasy feeling. The tragic death of 33-year-old British girl Sarah Everard last week has rekindled the debate about women's safety. In a post that has meanwhile gone viral, the influencer Lucy Mountain describes which security precautions are unconsciously taken for granted by many women in order to protect themselves from robberies on their way home at night.
A woman should have been able to go home.
The post seems to put into words exactly what many women feel – more than 2.6 million times it has been marked with "Like" – also because it contains a haunting appeal to men.
