Aged 28, December 2024 I was playing pool with a friend when a man across the pub spotted me, came over, and started telling me how beautiful I was. After I politely made it clear I wasn’t interested, he kept pushing. He tried to put his arm around me and kept saying he just couldn’t help...
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...

When walking back from high school in my school uniform a man pulled up next to me and started to wolf whistle and was trying to get me into his car.
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...
Jess, aged 26 2024 When on a night out with friends I walked past a small group of people near the bar to go to the toilet, on my way past a man commented loudly “that ass!” I turned and confronted him and he became very defensive stating that he had been at a funeral that day as if that...
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...
2020-2023 I have had numerous occasions where I’ve felt uncomfortable and not safe because of males in this bar. One of the times a guy turned round and went ‘I’m going to fuck you tonight’ while grabbing my arm even though I had said no leave me alone multiple times. There have been a...
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...

I was wolf whistled as I was walking out of my place of work, it put the dampeners on what was otherwise a productive day.
Daisy, aged 15 2022 I went with my friends to skate and someone I used to go to school with was there. The boy showed me a picture of the boy who sexually assaulted me 2 years prior. When I ran away trying to calm myself down and make sure I didn’t start having flashbacks (i have...

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...
2023 Alex L, Aged 14 I was on my way home from school, wearing school uniform, and a man in his 30s approached me and told me I was beautiful. He asked me for my phone number and I said no, but he kept asking. I carried on walking and he followed me, asking for my phone number and then...
