The murder of a London primary school teacher last week has re-sparked the international conversation around violence against women.

On Friday, Sabina Nessa left her south London home to make the five-minute walk to her local pub when she was murdered, London’s Metropolitan Police saidin a statement Thursday.

“[She was] truly the most kind, caring person out there,” Ahmed said of his cousin. “I don’t understand how someone can do this, I really don’t. It’s a big, big loss to our family.”

Nessa’s murder comes six months after the slaying of33-year-old Sarah Everard, who was killed while walking home from a friend’s house in southwest London.

Now, many women are turning to social media again to say little has come from the previous public outcries of violence against women and children — and more should be done.

“We’ve got to stop trying to MANAGE violence against women (as if it’s inevitable) and start PREVENTING it,” leader of the Women’s Equality Party Mandu Reid tweeted Thursday, using the hashtag #EnoughIsEnough. “This should be a top priority for every single political party and politician. No more platitudes and warm words.”
