C, aged 34 5th July 2024 I was at a gig and just before the band came on stage, there was a group of 4 men (early 20s) stood to the side us. One of them unzipped his trousers to urinate into a paper cup, his friends were all laughing asking what he was doing. One of them shouted at him...
C, Aged 13 Growing up I had these neighbours who had a big family like ours, we saw them everyday after school. One day we were all round at their house two of the boys took me into the other room to look at “games”. Both of them who were around 13/15 pinned me down forced...
Under 30 2023 I am the daughter of a farmer and was brought up in the culture. You don’t know what it’s like until you’re in it and believe me, it’s gotten worse but how much of that is due to the industry we are in? My world is farming and I hate it – I suffered catcalling and...
Skye, aged 15 December 2023 I was walking through town in my school uniform on the way home. It wasn’t very late but was very dark due to how late it was in the year. A man I was walking past began yelling at me and so I removed one of my headphones to check it wasn’t...
Aged 17, 2024 I was walking home a bit drunk and this man just comes up to me and is like, ‘oh, you’re very pretty’. So I was like, ‘thank you’ and walked a bit faster, just trying to get ahead and he kept asking how old I was and if I was single and I was just...
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...
1986/7 I had gone out with friends to “Your Father’s Moustache” (the Tache), as I love alternative music. I was with a group of female friends at the time. I was standing with 2 females by the dance floor in the club when we were approached by some young men, one of whom...
E Ellis, Aged 52-53 2023-24 The incidents involved a male neighbour who has also been reported to the authorities for noise nuisance. There has been more than one occurrence. The first that I recall was some time before Christmas. My husband and I sometimes shout to each other from one...
Aged 30
2013
I was working at an establishment in Lytham square. A male customer was leering/staring at me for a while. He came up to me and said “You look like you’ve just been impregnated.” I still see this man about. He gives me the creeps.
Aged 25

I worked in a public-facing job, and a much older male customer followed me home from work. I confided in a male colleague the following day, who confronted the customer, but he was never barred from the premises.

I was walking down Queen Street, and passed two men standing in a doorway. One said to the other loudly “I’d rape HER.”
Aged 39 2024 I was walking down Talbot Road in the afternoon and noticed I was being followed by a young man. He came right up to my ear from behind and started making strange noises. He was saying words but I couldn’t make out what they were but one sounded like it could have been...
JS aged 15-35 1998-2017 When I was 15 I went to a house party. This was a friend of a friend, a group of other kids my age drinking cheap cider as was quite typical in the ’90s. Then a man arrived. I’d never met him before, he was introduced as a neighbour and he, oddly...
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...
RK, Aged 29 2019 I used to work on Birley Street and a man approx in his 40s would come into our shop quite frequently. He was always a little bit dirty and smelly. He was a customer though so I would always say good morning and tell him to have a nice day. He started coming to the shop...
