Intimidated

Groped

Aged 15 2021 I was on the 75 bus coming home from school at around 7pm but due to it being winter it was quite dark and quiet. I had the whole bus to myself until an older man came on and sat right next to me. I thought it was weird but didn’t say anything. I had my headphones in and just...

Sexual assault

2022 Aged 25

Whilst on a night out I was consistently touched by a man at the bar. After several advances he put his hand up my skirt. He was removed once the bouncers had been informed but I was left stuck inside as he refused to move away from the outside of the venue.

Verbally harassed/followed

2011 Aged 21 I was walking to work around 6pm during an icy, dark winter. I thought I was alone but realised a much older man was following me. He started shouting sexually explicit things and speeding up behind me. It was to icy for me to run but luckily someone came walking towards us...

Verbal abuse

Bystander account by Paul Maynard MP 9/12/2022 I attended the Reclaim the Night march as I believe it is important that everyone can enjoy a night out without fear of intimidation and harassment. Because I was coming to join a bit late from another event, I had almost caught up the march...
