Hate Speech, Verbally Abused

Tina, 65, Summer 2024 I was in town with my son. I use a mobility scooter. I confronted a man who was hurling racist abuse at a group of young men of colour. He said I should be taken out and that I was a traitor. I gave him verbally some of his own medicine and did not back down. My son...

Raped, Harassed, Stalked

Lisa, 1989-2026 On New Year’s Eve in 1989 I had my drink spiked and ended up in bed with someone so it was a rape. Following on from that I started getting followed. At times I have been terrified. The stalking continued a few months and has been sporadic and very heavy at times since. I...

Catcalled, Harassed, Intimidated

Lily-Rose, 26, Jan 2026 I was taking some money out of the cash machine when I noticed some men putting flags up along near Natwest. They shouted over to me asking how old I was & if I was single. I told them no and asked if they had anything better to do with their time. They then...

Intimidated

Lucy, 19, September 2025
I was on the 68 bus and an old man kept on turning round and smirking at me and then continued to get his phone out to take a video of me. I felt so uncomfortable, I left the bus before my stop thankfully I wasn’t followed.

Intimidated, grabbed

23, 2025 I was waiting for my tram when 2 men started talking to me. One was telling me how he’s barred from most bars in town for getting in fights and trying to drug and rape women. He told me he sells drugs and weapons and began lifting up clothing to show me his scars. Then he went to...

Followed

27, 2023 I was on a run around Marton Mere, in broad daylight in summer. I passed a lone man on the trail going the opposite way to me and made eye contact. The look on his face told me what was going to happen next (if you know you know!) I carried on as normal for another few metres and...

Sexual Harassment

29, 2025 I had a handyman come round to do a couple of jobs in my new home. I stayed downstairs whilst on the laptop, and from the top of the stairs anytime he had a question or needed help, he would shout ‘babe’, ‘hun’ and it made me feel uncomfortable because I didn’t know this man...

Intimidated

Clare, 33, November 2023 I got on a busy train at London Euston Station with my Aunty, and sat in our booked seats. We were seated at a table, there was a lady sat facing my Aunty and after a couple of minutes a man approx 40 got on and sat in the seat opposite me. He looked me, my Aunty...

Sexually Harassed

20, 2025 I was waiting for the bus with my boyfriend. A man who appeared to be homeless, sat on the floor behind us outside a shop, asked me for change and I smiled and apologised, saying I wasn’t carrying any. He made a few lighthearted comments that I couldn’t really hear...

Physical Assault

DA, 33, 2025 I was walking down the prom, at about 17:45 on a Tuesday evening. I was walking with my 14 year old daughter, and as we walked along a man cycled past and slap groped by buttock as hard as he could. I yelped in pain as he cycled off laughing. I shouted at him that it was...

Catcalled

Two guys behind me and one said “My friend wants to f**k you from behind”.

Groped

Aged 18, Sept 2025
When I was in [a nightclub] I was getting touched inappropriately. When I asked them to stop it made it worse and when I informed the doormen – they didn’t seem to care at all!
