If your daughter has the chutzpah, teach her this response I once saw used in a cinema: Loud shout of 'Does anyone know who this hand belongs to?', holding up the offending object for all to see.
Perv seen disappearing at top speed. Only downside, not being able to break his nose first.
Seriously, self defence classes are good, the younger the child the better. They work because you act out these scenes, so you don't do the usual thing which is to freeze till its all too late.

My kids do Kung Fu at the Harringay Club (other side of Hornsey Station). Link. Plenty of older kids and adults too.

It it happens to anyone else (or suggest to your daughters) say in a loud voice ' Can you stop touching me like that, are you a pervert or something?' I said that to someone on the tube years ago, who kept 'accidently' bumping his groin into me on a packed train - everyone turned round and stared at him and he jumped off at the next stop. Any guys who might feel nervous, you don't accidently bump in to certain parts of a woman's anatomy more than once without it being obvious to the targeted woman what you're up to. This kind of sexual assault is not funny and those guys are sexual predators on the look out for someone who looks (young?) and therefore possibly vulnerable.

Reminds me once. I was on the bus. I saw this girl, she looked uncomfortable. An old man was with her.
I had never seen her before; I was with my brother. I told him I thought she looked uncomfortable.
Resolved, I went up to her, pretended I knew her:
"Hello Jeanette," I said. "Would you like to come and sit with us?"
She looked up at me -
"It's OK. He's my Grandad."
I was totally embarrassed. Face flushed. But Grandad gave me the thumbs up.

I think, my friend forgot to add that her daughter is a child and was in school uniform at the time this assault took place.
