what was it? i vaguely remember it. don't think women would be too keen to take the streets at the moment though

Well that's the point, isn't it?

I dunno, I'm a bit too young for them myself so don't know a lot about them except they are a statement of female (and male) solidarity against crimes like this.

This is probably one man - he isn't going to attack women in numbers. He'll be a misfit, a coward and he'll most probably be getting off on creating such a climate of fear around himself. I'm not saying go out alone after dark on your own, but organise something to say women aren't just going to hide in their houses until he's caught - and in memory of those poor girls and their families.

There's been many a thread on here about the anger surrounding calls for women to stay in at night at times like this, this is just saying put it into action.

I remember the Reclaim the Night campaign when I was a teenager, venturing into nightclubs in Bradford and Leeds at the height of the ripper murders.

It was questioning why, if it is a man who is committing these crimes, do women have to be the ones to suffer the curfew? Surely it is men who should be off the streets at night?
