Aged 43, 2023 Downstairs neighbour massaged his testicles through his trousers while he was talking to me on the stairs. It was my first week in my new flat. He seemed to enjoy making me upset. This was followed by separate incidences of intimidating behaviour, including knocking on my...
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...
2024 Aged 21 It was around 7.30pm. I was waiting at the tram stop and a man approached me. He mentioned the weather and we made small talk while we waited for the tram. At first, I thought he was just being friendly until he asked me what my name was and where I lived. I gave him a fake...

2024 Aged 22 The bar staff behaved in an inappropriate manner – very derogatory and misogynistic. Played it off as a laugh but was quite concerning. Normal people take no for an answer. Just because you wear a nice outfit and feel confident does not mean men can belittle you and make you...
I love the bar because of the music, but I’ve been harassed there multiple times. Men have grabbed my arse, my waist, squeezed past me whilst grabbing me as there’s “no space” which wasn’t true. One occasion that really stands out to me is when I dropped my ring on the floor. I bent down...

Nicole, aged 30 2023 Just on my way to work and a delivery guy was going into a car with another guy. As I was walking past, he wolf-whistled and I remember hearing it but when it’s happened so often before you just drown it out and ignore it completely. However, because I ignored this...

A, Aged 14

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.
J, aged 13 2018 I went swimming with my dad and my little brother to spend some time with them. My little brother made friends with another young girl in the pool who was with her dad. Her dad kept looking at me and smiling. Me being 13, I just assumed it was him being nice and friendly...

Lucy, aged 26 10th June, 2023 I had been out celebrating pride and decided to go and meet a couple of friends at the pub. Unfortunately, the women’s toilets were out of use and so we had to use the men’s which had been labelled as unisex. Whilst waiting for the cubicle a man using a...
