Street Harassment
As many as 65% of women and girls have experienced some form of street harassment. From wolf-whistling, to groping and flashing, it has a detrimental impact on our freedoms.
Over the next 16 days, IDAS has chosen to focus on 16 different types of abuse experienced by women across the UK. We tell the stories of survivors, many of whom have been supported by us, shining a light on the different types of abuse and violence.
Please join us to learn more and to listen to stories of pain, determination and ultimately survival.
