A national campaign was launched yesterday (January 17) by Crimestoppers for Violence Against Women and Girls.
The movement runs from January 17 until February 14, 2024.
It’s strategy seeks to raise awareness of types of sexual harassment that can be a crime.
Campaign
The push encourages those who witness or who are a bystander to this harassment to speak up, 100% anonymously, to Crimestoppers.
To learn more about their campaign, follow their social media pages and keep an eye on the Isle of Man Constabulary Media Page as it will be sharing and highlighting this important topic.
Violence Against Women and Girls
A major new survey and report, commissioned by Crimestoppers, has revealed that one in six children face unwanted sexual harassment in public from the age of 10.
The report, by the University of Suffolk, sheds light on general attitudes to sexual harassment and the age at which victims are targeted, and follows the impact of the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse and harassment.
Whilst 1,800 people participated in the survey, none of the questions were mandatory due to the sensitivity of the subject matter.
