Aged 16 2010 I didn’t experience sexual harassment in school because I was considered one of the ‘ugly’ girls because I didn’t wear makeup etc. When I turned up at prom in full glam people didn’t recognise me at first, but the lads clearly decided I was now worthy of harassment because I...

2022 Ava, aged 21 I was in B&M’s minding my own business when a middle-aged short bearded man slowly approached while staring at me. He stopped dead in front of me, looked me up and down, laughed and did the creepiest smile I’ve ever seen. I then just walked on and called him a...
2023 Ava, aged 21 I was wearing a long fur cow print coat, looking super glamorous if I do say so myself, when two scruffy looking boys started to “moo” at me the whole way up the escalator… it was loud and went on for quite some time. In all honesty I just found it embarrassing for them...
