According to research conducted by Dr Ruth Lewis and Dr Amanda McBride at Northumbria University,
00:06
sexual harassment of women in night-time economy is reportedly causing shame, anger and fear with
00:12
women feeling unsafe on nights out. Now, ITV News recently conducted a survey of 18 to 25-year-olds
00:18
wherein results showed 81% of young women say they feel unsafe when walking home in the dark.
00:24
The newly-appointed government minister of safeguarding, Jess Phillips, recently said
00:28
this figure did not come as any surprise, describing the issue of violence against
00:33
women and girls as a national emergency. Dr Amanda McBride said about her research,
00:38
quote, shame and stigma go hand-in-hand to police, women's behaviour and have always
00:44
been a fundamental aspect of the maintenance of men's violence. Traditionally, women have
00:49
been held responsible for their own victimisation and have been advised to adjust their own behaviour
00:55
to avoid harassment and violence. But these responses show there is a contemporary shift
01:00
towards holding those who sexually intrude to account.
