00:00Ariel Bombara has been incredibly brave, telling her really devastating story about going to

00:07the police, about the risk that her father and his guns posed and not getting a result.

00:14We now need to be brave in responding to that, which starts by admitting the truth that the

00:20system does not keep women safe in its current form.

00:25And whether police couldn't act or wouldn't act, either way we need to change this.
