Sexual harassment in public places widespread - report

A report claims the government is failing to tackle the sexual harassment of women and girls in public places.

The Women and Equalities Committee claims harassment in public places is 'relentless' and becomes normalised as girls grow up.

Under its international obligations, the Government is committed to eliminating sexual harassment by 2030, but the committee finds no evidence that anything is being done to achieve this.

The report recommends introducing a legal obligation for universities to eliminate sexual harassment, tougher laws on 'revenge porn' and a crackdown on online pornography.
