I had the best gig of my life that night with my friends and at the end of the night when I was buying merch a really old man came behind me and slapped my bum. I felt violated as I heard him and his friends laugh about it.

When I was in [a nightclub] I was getting touched inappropriately. When I asked them to stop it made it worse and when I informed the doormen – they didn’t seem to care at all!
Aishley, Aged 37, 20/06/2025 It’s taken me a while to get to telling this story- and I think thats’s probably because I find it a bit staggering myself and have not really processed it. All of the incidences I will explain happened within a 24 hour period. It was mid June this...
Aged 25, 2024 I was out with friends in the bar because we have generally felt safe there; we were at the bar where I was leaning and out of the way when a man placed both hands low down on my hips when moving past me. I saw him go into the back afterwards so I didn’t have time to...
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...
6th April 2024 Rosie Jones, aged 31 I entered the cafe with my 2 year old and husband. The person who touched me was talking to the women behind the counter he then turned to leave walking towards where I was stood. He raised his hand and I wrongly assumed he was going to place it on my...
Bella, aged 19 2019 After arguing with my boyfriend on a night out he left me crying in the street. About two minutes later a group of five lads all crowded around me, berating me and making fun of me. When I walked away they all followed me my entire walk home taking pictures of me...

Aged 13 2018 I went to the slope where the claw machines were because I couldn’t find the friends I came with after coming out the bathroom and stopped near the end of the slope. A man whose face I never saw bumped into me, grabbed my chest/boobs hard before walking away without saying...

Aged 14 2015 I was at school in year 9 and during break I was grabbed underneath my skirt by a lad in the year above. At the time I felt uncomfortable but I laughed it off like I should’ve enjoyed it. I never reported it out of embarrassment and fear of either name calling or being told I...
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...
