Harassed

Catcalled

Daisy, Aged 14, 2025,
I was waiting with my friend for her to get picked up and some men pulled up asking if we were flipping them off and on their way to us they turned the car around, revving it and screeching the tires. We are 14 this isn’t okay, you are grown men.

Verbal harassment

Aged 17, 2025 Me (17) and a friend (15) were sat near [a bar] in Blackpool, when a much older man (about 50) came up and sat opposite us. He insisted that he should have a drink out of our cups, despite having a drink himself. He proceeded to make many comments about us being beautiful...

Verbally abused

Aged 26, 2025 I was approached by an older gentleman and his wife. At the time I was heavily pregnant. At this time I was extremely self conscious and my body had grown to support my baby. This older couple decided to shout at me that I looked huge and I should stop eating as I was huge...

Sexually harassed

Harriet, aged 17, 2025 I was on the number 42 bus going towards Blackpool town centre when a drunk man got onto the bus and noticed me after he sat down. He got so close to me that he spilt his beer down my legs and I could feel his eyes darting towards my face and down my clothes. He...

Harassment

2025

Was shocked to see the amount of t shirts inciting hate, violence and sexual assault towards women. I don’t want to repeat what was written on them.

Harassed

Aged 36 and 14, May 2025

Whilst walking through town with my young daughter we were harassed and catcalled several different times by young farmers. We weren’t aware it was farmers weekend as I thought this had been banned years ago.

Hate Speech

2024 Whilst sat in the bar with a friend for Xmas drinks we were approached by a man. He started to make innapropriate racist comments to us. We told him we weren’t interested in what he had to say. He then started calling us gay, just because we didn’t want to speak to him. The...

Followed

Aged 26, 2024 I was walking through town whilst shopping and was approached by a man who asked if I had a lighter he could borrow. I told him ‘no sorry’ and walked away. After a few minutes I realised he was walking in the same direction as me which gave me the creeps. I stopped and...

Followed

Alice Aged 27, 2024 I chose to walk down the path nearest the beach. Once I was walking down I noticed a man of around 50, around 5ft10 and with dark hair watching me as I walked nearer. I moved as far to the side of him as possible. He said hello and asked how I was, I said hello back...

Catcalled

Tamzin White, Aged 24 2024 I was walking to work on my usually route along West Park Drive. The same men drive past EVERY other day without fail. At first I put it down to the time of day being the same each day but I’ve recently changed hours and they seem to know if it’s an 11am I’m in...

Attempted Grooming

RK, aged 16 2009 My friend and I would always order a takeaway from a Church Street takeaway (close to the number 3 pub) as it wasn’t far from my house and we would walk down to pick it up. We were there once a week at least for a few weeks, the staff there were always friendly and...
