Bradford: A march is held
to protest against the "Ripper"
murders and other murders of women and the
requests by officials that women in the area remain
inside at night: 400 women held a rally to show
our anger and grief at violent attacks on women
by men.
The police had
changed our original route but we marched
where we wanted to go anyway through the
busiest area of central Bradford. Women
responded very positively to our leaflet
in which we called for a curfew on men and
the right to defend ourselves." (Leeds
Women, 1979: 17).

Defend Sara Dixon Campaign, Bradford.
Sara Dixon had been arrested during an anti
fascist demonstration and charged with possession
of an offensive weapon. (She had a pocket
knife in her bag.) Resonating with the other
issues in town surrounding a woman's right
to self defence, and the Reclaim the Night
activities arising from the 'Ripper' fear,
a defence campaign was launched. Marguerite
Russell defended Sara, who was given a one
year suspended sentence.
