On the 14th of June of 2018, the day after the murder of Melbourne comedian, Eurydice Dixon, police comments in the media drew the ire of the public, with the drawn inference that that women needed to exercise greater care in potentially compromising situations, like walking home alone through a park at night.
Kon Karapanagiotidis, a lawyer and social worker, tweeted the following after police comments to the media:
“I can only imagine the rage and fear women feel to see women die doing everyday mundane things like walking home, like they do too, only to then be told it’s their fault and that they need to be more careful,”
“Stop blaming women. Make men the issue.”
Hundreds of people shared the tweet, including a young 24 year old woman named Toyah Cordingley...
Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the senseless murder of a bright and caring young woman, and the pending extradition of a person of interest.
