We need to send a clear message that street harassment is not okay.

One in 5 girls (19 per cent) have experienced street harassment during lockdown, a new survey by global children’s charity Plan International UK has revealed.

As the UK comes to the end of its 6th week in lockdown, the poll of over 1,000 14-21 year-old girls also found that, despite the streets being emptier than ever, 1 in 5 (18 per cent) girls who have experienced street harassment during this time say that it has got worse in the lockdown period.
