I was in a classroom because I was having a lesson and a boy sits right next to me and gets close. I was thinking he probably wants to be friendly but as soon as he started touching my thighs and trying to touch my boobs in front of the teacher I knew it wasn’t right.

Aged 14/15 2009 I was walking home alone from a friend’s house as a teenager and had to go past a group of lads. One of them suddenly ran up to me and smacked my rear end really hard. Him and all his friends laughed. I got away as quick as I could. It made me feel so humiliated and...
Leah, aged 27 29th April 2023 I was with a hen party on Saturday night. I was sat at a table when a man approached me and was asking me to come back to his hotel. I said no and went to walk away. He grabbed me by the wrist and told me I was coming with him. My partner was outside so...
Jess, aged 24 2022 I was walking across the bar with my friends, both male and female. We passed through a group of men and one decided to “play the drums” on my arse as I walked by. I turned around and slapped him and he got progressively more aggressive (how dare I hit him) until he was...

E, aged 18 2016 I was on a big works do in town and we were were all stood in a group near the bar, just chatting and having a nice time, when a group of men behind us tapped me and a colleague on the shoulder and said something. We both just responded out of politeness, and turned back...
DD, aged 28 2021 I was out with a couple of friends and bumped into another group, we started chatting and laughing, a pretty standard night out in Blackpool, but one guy in the other group kept leaning into me to speak to me. The music wasn’t that loud, he kept grabbing my waist...
Helen, late 20s 2014 was walking alone in the afternoon. It was a nice sunny day in early summer, I felt safe at the time. I was ambushed by two men in their late 30s early 40s who ran right up to me asking me my name and shouting sexual harassment type things in my face. They’d blocked...
Aged 31 2023 Out with my wonderful friends, dancing and a guy grabbed my friend’s arse. She told him to leave her alone. He then made a grinding motion behind me. We moved away from him and informed one of the male bouncers who said he would keep an eye on him. The bouncer, we feel...
Aged 19 2013 I worked as bad staff at xxx Bar and we had to wear T shirts with a brand of cider on that we sold. I asked a guy what he wanted to drink. He said, ‘a pint of this’ and dragged his finger across the front of my T shirt where the logo was, over my chest. I was too shocked to...
2015 Aged 21 This would’ve been one of many similar incidents – a lad casually groped my arse as he walked through a crowd of people, thinking I wouldn’t see who did it. I yelled at him and he just laughed straight in my face. Can’t count how many times things like that have...
Aged 13 2018 I went to the slope where the claw machines were because I couldn’t find the friends I came with after coming out the bathroom and stopped near the end of the slope. A man whose face I never saw bumped into me, grabbed my chest/boobs hard before walking away without saying...
