Almost all young women in the UK have been sexually harrassed

this is heartbreaking and I wish I could say surprising but it isnt. Women have no faith it will be dealt with either

Can anyone find the details on what the survey actually defined as sexual harassment? I looked at the links and all I could see was that only 3% had 'not experienced any of the behaviours we asked about', but what were these behaviours? Does it include men calling 'cheer up love' at you in the street? If so, am surprised it's not 100%! On the other hand, if it only includes more 'serious' stuff, I'm surprised it's as high as 97%. But difficult to judge without the information on what they actually asked! I'm in general suspicious of statistics when the full information is not available. That said, I think the real number is likely to be very high, which is really awful.

I would really like to see one of these surveys where they took equal numbers of men and women and asked them the same questions. It would be much more powerful to be able to state that for example 97% of women and 14% of men have experienced sexual harassment. Does anyone know of any recent survey like this?

The survey's big headline question was "Would you say you have ever been sexually harassed by a man?", and as far as I can tell, this wasn't defined further. Interestingly, only 52% of respondents said yes to this; I can't see where this 97% figure comes from.

They then took opinions about a list of different actions that could constitute sexual harassment:

Wolf whistled at you
Commented on your attractiveness directly to you
Tried to take a photo up your skirt
Exposed their genitalia to you (i.e. flashing)
Pinched or grabbed your bum
Placed their hand on your lower back
Directed a sexual joke at you
Looked at your breasts
Requested sexual favours from you
Danced by pressing themselves against you in a club
Winked at you
Asked you out for a drink

and victims have a right to discuss this and rape without a male born person, if they wish too. 💐 gardening for Raquel Rosario Sánchez
