A protest has been organised in Edinburgh to call for more to be done one year on from the death of Sarah Everard.
The murder of the 33-year-old while she walked home on March 3, 2021, sparked movements and protests around the country, with thousands of women calling for better education, reform and protection.
As further information about what happened to Sarah unfolded, two Edinburgh women created 'StrutSafe', a platform where locals who felt vulnerable walking home alone could organise a volunteer to go with them.
Run by Alice Jackson and Rachel Chung, the idea quickly caught interest, with the organisation now having over 70,000 followers on social media, with a number of volunteers listed.
