(NECN: Greg Wayland) - Charlotte Golar Richie, the sole woman among the even dozen candidates running for Boston mayor, seized a critical urban moment to talk about urban violence against women.

"As a woman and a mother of two daughters, I can't help but be alarmed as I know everyone should be at the number of high-profile and much publicized assaults and murders of women that have taken place across our city," she says.

Golar Richie was speaking during a news conference at quiet Copps Hill Terrace at the edge of Boston's North End. Only a few reporters and a handful of supporters were there for the 10 a.m. gathering, but she knows women in the North End and elsewhere have seen the headlines and read about all the recent violence, some of it deadly.

"So we need to do something about this issue, whether we're here in the North End or we're dealing with the serial rapist in Roxbury or the women who've been attacked on Beacon Hill," Golar Richie says.
