RK, Aged 19 2011 I was dancing with my friends when a man approached me and said “sorry this was a dare” and proceeded to “motorboat me” and then walked away. I was so shocked that I just froze, and had no idea what to do until my friends pointed out that this had...

Nicole, aged 22 2016 During my employment here, there were many inappropriate times but the one that really stuck out to me was when I had been grabbed by the wrist by some man who was really drunk as I was collecting glasses. He was slurring his words and wouldn’t let go when I politely...

A, Aged 14
2021
I was in a classroom because I was having a lesson and a boy sits right next to me and gets close. I was thinking he probably wants to be friendly but as soon as he started touching my thighs and trying to touch my boobs in front of the teacher I knew it wasn’t right.
