I was at a house party with my friends. I was harassed and forced into sex with an older boy who was 18 at the time, that was how I lost my virginity.
Fairly regular occurrence of being shouted at and intimidated by teenagers. One incident involved two girls shouting “bitch” at me as I walked to my sister’s house. Another incident, a boy across the road imitated shooting me. I and my mother both avoid walking around the Ermine estate on...

A man honked his horn and jeered at me from his car as he drove around the roundabout. He winked at me from his car. I was walking with my older sister and was shocked, it happened so quickly.
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...

I was waiting with my friend for her to get picked up and some men pulled up asking if we were flipping them off and on their way to us they turned the car around, revving it and screeching the tires. We are 14 this isn’t okay, you are grown men.
Sarah, aged 37, Friday 15th August 2025 I was walking home alone from a friend’s house when a car pulled up beside me on East Park Drive. The driver honked the horn, but when I didn’t respond, they quickly sped off. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened to me —...
Aged 17, 2025 Me (17) and a friend (15) were sat near [a bar] in Blackpool, when a much older man (about 50) came up and sat opposite us. He insisted that he should have a drink out of our cups, despite having a drink himself. He proceeded to make many comments about us being beautiful...
Aged 26, 2025 I was approached by an older gentleman and his wife. At the time I was heavily pregnant. At this time I was extremely self conscious and my body had grown to support my baby. This older couple decided to shout at me that I looked huge and I should stop eating as I was huge...
Harriet, aged 17, 2025 I was on the number 42 bus going towards Blackpool town centre when a drunk man got onto the bus and noticed me after he sat down. He got so close to me that he spilt his beer down my legs and I could feel his eyes darting towards my face and down my clothes. He...
October 2024 – May 2025 I was unfortunate enough to be working at the Bar during the Young Farmers event. Not only has this venue shown continuous lack of care for the staff and complete ignorance to the issues that they create, but they were heavily unprepared for this weekend...

Was shocked to see the amount of t shirts inciting hate, violence and sexual assault towards women. I don’t want to repeat what was written on them.
Aged 36 and 14, May 2025
Whilst walking through town with my young daughter we were harassed and catcalled several different times by young farmers. We weren’t aware it was farmers weekend as I thought this had been banned years ago.
2024 Whilst sat in the bar with a friend for Xmas drinks we were approached by a man. He started to make innapropriate racist comments to us. We told him we weren’t interested in what he had to say. He then started calling us gay, just because we didn’t want to speak to him. The...
Aged 26, 2024 I was walking through town whilst shopping and was approached by a man who asked if I had a lighter he could borrow. I told him ‘no sorry’ and walked away. After a few minutes I realised he was walking in the same direction as me which gave me the creeps. I stopped and...
Alice Aged 27, 2024 I chose to walk down the path nearest the beach. Once I was walking down I noticed a man of around 50, around 5ft10 and with dark hair watching me as I walked nearer. I moved as far to the side of him as possible. He said hello and asked how I was, I said hello back...
