This is the story of Lauren McCluskey, who was a student at the University of Utah in 2018; and this story makes us so so angry for so many reasons. The main reasons, though, are that Lauren did everything right. Lauren saw that she was in danger, and alerted the authorities who were supposed to protect her. But even though she asked for help, her pleas were basically all but ignored. This story is incredibly sad, and if you're listening to this as a woman, I know this will hit close to home. However, I also think that we can learn from the mistakes that happened here and make this world a little bit safer.
Stay safe out there.
With love,
