Women’s groups have lauded yoga instructor Leanne Lucas for her bravery following her injuries during the Southport stabbings, where a knifeman attacked a dance and yoga class on July 29, killing three girls and injuring others. At a vigil in Liverpool, Lucas addressed the community about courage in the face of fear and shame women often experience. She emphasized the importance of sharing stories and connecting with one another. Charities have highlighted the urgent need to combat violence against women, which has risen sharply in recent years.
