    That’s nice.

    Can police start believeing women who tell them they feel they are in danger, and do something about it before someone kills them, now?

      I think this is the bigger problem, actually. It could have prevented a number of femicides.

        For real.

        The law in a lot of places does not allow police to do anything to help someone, before their life has already been risked.

        Unfortunately the first attempt is usually just as lethal as a potential second.
