The verdict on the murder of Sarah Everard in London at the end of September is causing a stir in England.
Britain's women are starting a debate that could shed a whole new light on how violence against women is dealt with.
London - A violent crime continues to be a topic of discussion in England: Women in Great Britain are demanding consequences from the British government and the judiciary in the country when dealing with misogyny. After the murder of Sarah Everard, the call for more protection that misogyny is classified as a hate crime * grows louder. So far, the British government has kept a low profile on the move.
