About #TextMeWhenYouGetHome
#TextMeWhenYouGetHome became a worldwide movement following the 2021 death of Sarah Everard in the U.K. The hashtag sparked global awareness, anger and a conversation around the vulnerability and lack of safety women feel while in public alone. Each individual episode follows a case of an innocent woman who's been harmed, killed, or abducted by someone on what should have been just another average day. These stories are told through interviews, re-creations, texts, phone records and other digital breadcrumbs that authorities used to solve the case. Unfolding as a whodunnit, all suspects are explored until the actual perpetrator is caught.
