Safety for our daughters!

<p>One local girl was killed in the 70 minutes between her gig at a local bar and when she was found.
Same neighborhood & same time my D attended middle school/high school
It took 10 years for her killer- who had used the strings from her hoodie to strangle her- to be caught</p>

<p>I don't know if it ultimately would make a difference- but women need to be strong not just to not have to depend on anyone else to open a jar or lift a box, but to save their bones and protect themselves</p>
