Marai Larasi, a member of campaign group Million Women Rise, said:"We're here to support the family, we're here to bring her home in spirit, we're here to honour her life, and we're here with absolute exhaustion because we're tired of vigils, we're tired of crying and we're tired of having to bury women of all ages and stages in life.", as well as attempted rape and robbery.
"I want to reach out and do something important and act, because that's what Zara was about - we have got to change something. "I want to speak to the leaders of this country, I want to talk about the setting up of projects right now to prevent violence."
