One night I was harassed three times within 20 minutes.
I’m a student and I recently went out for some drinks with friends and they carried on after I left at around midnight. I walked home alone because it was only 20 minutes from my house and I cant afford to get taxi’s everywhere.
I had just left my friends (wearing a coat and jeans) and walked past some men who cat called me, then it happened again with another man I walked past, and then a student stood drunk outside of his house.
It makes me feel incredibly scared, every time I walk past any males at night I put my head down and wish for them to walk past silently.
I feel so awful about this!! In the day I feel perfectly safe and if anybody talks at me, even if I don’t like it, i feel comfortable and calm. At night it seems like these men really would do something to me if I replied in the wrong way, I would love to shout back at them the same way they do to me but I am terrified of what would happen.
Please let this stop soon!!
