‘(…) a big part of what is wrong with the discussion around women’s safety – the assumption that women need to change their behaviour in order to stay safe, while men – by far and away the most common perpetrators of acts against female runners – aren’t really expected to do anything.’

– Lela Moore for Like the Wind magazine
