Ever had a conversation like this?
Situations like this happen far too often and girls remain unsafe and unprotected in public spaces. Something needs to change!
95% of UK parents support making #PublicSexualHarassment a crime 👏

We are deeply disappointed about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade — the power to make these deeply personal decisions belongs in the hands of girls and women and the people they trust, not a judge or legislator. #RoeVWade#Plan4girls

This is brilliant news! 👏
@Telegraph are reporting that the Law Commission are set to back our call to make public sexual harassment a crime.
Making this behaviour a crime will send a clear message that it is not acceptable in our society.

Girls as young as 10 are being harassed, followed and touched but there’s no single law that makes it a crime. This week, the Government launch their strategy to protect women and girls. Sign if you believe #publicsexualharassment is a #CrimeNotCompliment https://t.co/fOVM23qzBq
UK Parliament has just voted in favour of the Government’s plans to cut overseas #UKaid to 0.5% of GNI.
This is a further catastrophe for the world’s most vulnerable children - especially girls - at a time when they most need our support.

Our SRHR Adviser, @bekkyAshmore spoke on @BBCNews this morning to discuss the Government’s 'shameful' decision to cut Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights services by 85%.
This will result in the deaths of tens of thousands of women & girls during pregnancy & childbirth.
"It is impossible to justify why these cuts are being made now in the middle of a global pandemic when we know that the pandemic has to be addressed all around the world.
We’re reducing the health services all around the world and it’s not the right thing to do." @rose_girlpower
We welcome the news that the Government has reopened its consultation on violence against women and girls.
We encourage everyone to fill in the survey and ask for public sexual harassment to be made a crime #CrimeNotCompliment@OurStreetsNow
'As one girl told us, you can be fined for dropping litter in the UK, but not for harassing a woman or girl in public. This cannot be right.' Join @rose_girlpower@PlanUK and @OurStreetsNow to make harassment a #CrimeNotCompliment
All women and girls have the right to feel safe in public spaces, yet they still continue to face harassment every day.
They’re being followed, shouted at, touched and groped – and it needs to stop! #CrimeNotCompliment
