Street harassment reports

As an outcome of the previous discussion on women's safety, I have set up this post as a place to report any incidents you experience; this means that we will have a concrete record of where incidents occur, who it is and what kinds of harassment are happening.

Please use this thread only for posting reports so that we have a manageable record that can be presented to the local police, which many of us agreed would be helpful (for them and for us).

Also, if you can remember any recent incidents that you think are relevant, please post these too, even though they have already occurred.

When posting, it will be useful to record, where possible:
  • Where the incident occurred (which street, outside a particular shop or bar?)
  • What the culprit looked like (age, race, clothes, accent, distinguishing features? Were they alone or was it a group?)
  • What exactly they did or said (words used etc.)
I hope this thread goes some way to feeling that we are taking the first steps towards making our experiences more widely known; if the police can see exactly what is happening, they can begin to look at this problem more closely. As someone pointed out in the women's safety post, there is also no reason to hesitate in reporting an unpleasant experience to the SNT or your local PCSO, who will also make a record of your complaint.

It was at an LCSP meeting. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Perhaps you could turn it into a question and add to our list on the new thread?

Around Christmas time or possibly November two men tried to sexually assault my friend somewhere near Warham Road. Unfortunately she wouldn't leave the house and show us where or go to the police despite our attempts to persuade her. She did say they tried to get her into their house but to be honest she wasn't exactly sober and was clearly distraught and confused so it's hard to say what happened exactly. I will report it to the SNT, who I didn't really know about until I read about it on here - probably my fault for not being informed but maybe it should be better publicised?

Following a mail discussion with Jen, we have agreed with Jen to close this thread which has become a little clogged with all sorts of stuff and open a blog post to keep a record of incidents. The blog is here People who have made reports here do not need to do it again as we have collated that information already and will add it to the new blog.

Jen has asked that people do not fill the blog post with anything but actual reports of harassment. She will delete anything that is not a report.
