Useful and depressing stats stumbled

This

87% of people agree that the government should work with specialist women and girl’s organisations to develop effective solutions to prevent the most disadvantaged women and girls from experiencing sexual harassment.

Brilliant idea, only I would be concerned for the choice of orgs. I'd like them to know what a woman and a girl is to start with.

It’s depressing how unsurprised I am by those stats

And of course the government should work with specialist women & girls organisations (provided those orgs know what a girl/woman is)

Just to say in case it isn't clear I pulled out the stats I wanted to highlight.

I think in terms of the report as a whole these wont necessarily stick out.

Or if they do most people want draw the same conclusions.
