The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Sarah Everard vigil: Telegraph columnists explain why they’re going” – below is their description.
Despite the High Court rejecting a challenge against the police’s ban of Sarah Everard’s vigil, Telegraph Columnists Bryony Gordon and Claire Cohen said they will still attend.
“We all have something on that same spectrum happen to us”, said Women’s Editor Claire Cohen. “We’ve been followed home, we’ve been harassed, we’ve been grouped, we’ve been catcalled, we’ve been assaulted”, she added.
“These things happen on a sliding scale, that’s why we feel so deeply moved.”
For Bryony Gordon, seeing the park where she takes her daughter for walks closed off as forensics teams carry out investigations brought home the horror this incident.
The ‘Reclaim These Streets’ protest is due to take place at Clapham Common bandstand in south London on Saturday, after the 33-year-old’s killing sparked anger over the safety of women on the UK’s streets.
Organisers of the event took legal action on Friday after the Metropolitan Police said it would be unlawful under current lockdown measures.
