Only 5% of girls feel safe. This is sobering reading.

'Our research shows that girls don’t feel safe, in public or online, and face relentless pressure to look and act a certain way. They feel unprepared by their education, worried for future job prospects and scared by a rising culture of misogyny.'

Disappointing that they use the word gender throughout in what is a really significant and important piece of work

Waiting to hear the response from Bridget Phillipson, Anneliese Dodds and Jo Phillips. What do you bet they blame lock down.

Lockdown's certainly had impacts. You can track a wave of violence and mental health issues in the generation of children and teens affected. But there will be more than one cause.

Also, rereading the report, it says 7% feel safe in public places, to correct my OP.
