At 4pm in broad daylight, never to make it home. Every woman you know has walked home scared - every woman you know. I shouldn't have to share my location with my boyfriend just to go to supervalu in the afternoon and walk with my keys in my hand. I shouldn't have to call my dad every time I walk to work and cross the road if I see a group of men. It shouldn't be like this. Rest in peace Ashling Murphy 💕💕💕
‘don’t wear that out’ ‘don’t go out at night’ ‘stay where people can see you’
ashling murphy went for a run at 4PM. It was still light out and she was in a populated area. SHE STILL DIDN’T COME HOME. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
in light of recent events here in ireland (a 22 year old woman, ashling murphy, was murdered in broad daylight in a popular pathway), i want to draw attention to this feature on phones:
if you set this up, all you have to do is tap your power button five+ times rapidly and it'll send a text with your location to your chosen emergency contacts
this isn't just for women in ireland, it's for everyone; you can set it up for your kids/siblings, just please everyone stay safe!!

TW: femicide / murder
On Wednesday, January 12th - 23 year old primary school teacher and musician Ashling Murphy was going on a run along the canal in Tullamore, Co. Offaly at around 4pm (in broad daylight) when she was attacked and murdered.
The route she took brought her to Fiona’s Way, named after Fiona Pender who went missing over 25 years ago.
Now, I don’t know about you but I’m utterly sick of constantly being afraid! Women have to do lists on what to do when faced with the possibility of being assaulted and yet we’re still to blame for something that isn’t our fault.
There are vigils all across Ireland held in honour of Aisling. To find out more, please check out either the Hashtag on Instagram and/or Twitter #VigilforAshling or follow Women’s Council Ireland and Women’s Aid Ireland on Instagram
Ashling Murphy
Murphy was jogging along the Grand Canal in Tullamore, Ireland, shortly after she finished work at 3 pm. She was attacked at around 4 pm on Fiona's Way, a canal walkway just outside the town in Cappincur. Murphy sustained serious injuries consistent with a violent assault and was confirmed to have died from strangulation.
Two women, who were jogging on the opposite bank, saw Murphy being assaulted and ran to the nearest house to phone the Gardaí. Gardaí believe that when the attacker confronted Murphy, she fought back in a desperate attempt to save her life by using her keys.
A Falcon Storm mountain bike was recovered from the crime scene and linked to Murphy's killing. There were reports that another woman was followed by a man on a bike in Tullamore two hours before Murphy was killed. CCTV footage of the bike on the day of the attack were recovered.
DNA evidence of the alleged perpetrator was recovered from Murphy's body, with Gardaí saying "she fought for her life". On 17 January, Gardaí said "significant progress" was being made, as they issued a renewed appeal for information and asked people to come forward if they noticed a man dressed in a black tracksuit and black runners.
On 14 January, Gardaí identified another person of interest. The suspect had presented himself to St. James's Hospital in Dublin with unexplained injuries, which prompted healthcare workers to contact Gardaí. Gardaí carried out a background check, which led to searches of properties in County Offaly and one in Dublin. Two cars were also seized. One was a taxi, which was believed to have transported the suspect to hospital. Gardaí also carried out searches of the Grand Canal where Murphy was killed.
On 18 January, the day of Murphy's funeral, the suspect was discharged from hospital and arrested on suspicion of her murder. The next day, the suspect was charged with murder and identified as 31-year-old Jozef Puška, a Slovak national. That evening, he was brought before a special sitting of Tullamore District Court. He was heckled by a large crowd who had gathered outside the courthouse, and several of Murphy's family stood in court with framed pictures of her. Puška was remanded in custody at Cloverhill Prison to appear again at Clover Hill District Court on 26 January.
Judge Cronin further remanded Mr Puska in custody to appear before Cloverhill court via videolink on February 23.
I feel so sick, when will we be allowed to feel safe?
