Intimidated

Indecent Exposure

2013 I was kissing my then girlfriend in the pub and a man kept coming up to us and saying we should with him instead/wanting to join us (I can’t remember the exact words anymore). The third time he came up to us he got his penis out. The bar staff immediately threw him out but we...

Groped

15 I was at a concert and a man behind me kept putting his arms around me and touching my boobs ‘by accident’ according to him and pushing against my bum. I’d repeatedly asked him to stop and told him if he didn’t he’d regret it so the next time he put his arms around around my shoulders...

Catcalled, Harassed

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...

Catcalled

Daisy, Aged 14, 2025,
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.

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...

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...

Catcalled and chased

Aged 15 2022 When I was walking to my boyfriend’s house for the first time a man with his top off on a bike started to look at me across the road smiling. I smiled back but he must have taken that for something else and he rode his bike behind me for a minute and then went in front...

Spiked/verbally abused

Aged 16 2017 My younger male friend was (thankfully) walking me home through Hope Street Park in the later evening. We saw an older man in the middle of the park must’ve been late 30s at the time with a girl who I knew and was 16. He was stood over her and she was almost unconscious on...

Sexual harassment

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...
