2012, aged 18 There was a boy who had been making inappropriate comments for a while and ignored my requests to stop. We sat near each other in class and so it was very awkward and uncomfortable. I left class to go to the toilet and he followed me and cornered me. He then tried to touch...
2012 PB, aged 22 I was waiting at the bar for my drink and a man (I know his name from friends of friends) pushed up against me and groped my bum. I felt violated and shocked that someone felt that they could do that to MY body without MY consent. When I look back now, I feel frustrated...
Aged 35 2021 I was walking to the park with my nine year old daughter and we were crossing the junction at West Park Drive where there’s a small island in the middle. We had crossed half way and traffic was queuing to go around the roundabout on the side we still needed to cross. We...
01/02/2023 Aged 13 My friend invited me to town but to my surprise once we arrived two 17 year olds came up to us and one of them hugged my friend. She explained to me how it is her boyfriend who her parents don’t want her seeing because, for one he handles with drugs and two, for the...
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...
2022 Ava, aged 21 I’m a very androgynous person… I was wearing a head to toe pink, very alternative/really cool outfit. A group of scruffy boys walked past and started shouting to each other “it’s a boy hahaha, bro it’s literally a boy”. When I am in fact literally a girl, bro. Even if I...
3 November 2022Aged 18 I met a man who introduced himself to me as Adam (although this might be a fake name), at a Halloween themed event in Blackpool. We exchanged phone numbers and I gave him my name, and after that I thought I’d seen the last of him. I was quite confident that I...
SSP, aged 26 I was out having a weekend drink with friends. Whilst stood at the bar ordering a drink a guy walked straight up to me and put his hand up my skirt. I shouted at him “Get off me!” He smiled and just went back to stand with his mates. I told the barman who did nothing to help...

2016 Aged 18 I was in a bar in with friends and this man started talking to me, I was polite to him and chatted back for a bit but I wasn’t interested. He started being overly flirtatious and really touchy feely. When I think about it I would be horrified now if someone was acting like...

A man filmed me from his car walking across the car park on my walk home. He then followed me in his car and started beeping. Luckily I got a lift the rest of the journey home.
