London, UK. 3rd June 2018. A woman takes an empty pairs of shoes to display at the protest by community groups and campaigners against knife and gun crime opposite Downing St, calling on Theresa May to take action to stop the growing number of killings using knives across the country. The event was organised by Anti-Knife UK, founded by Danny O'Brien in 2008 which monitors knife crime incidents from across the UK on a daily basis. Many of those taking part were bereaved family members and their supporters and wore t-shirts or brought placards with photographs of the knife victims and pairs of empty shoes as well as banners. Speakers called for measures to tackle the problem including tougher sentences, tagging of all knives, knife arches in night clubs, equal rights for victims and families, a review of the laws governing self-defence and reasonable force and work in schools and communities.
