Harassment of women and girls in Lambeth and Southwark

Harassment is a daily reality for too many women and girls. Whether walking home, travelling on public transport or enjoying a night out, nobody should have to put up with unwanted sexual attention or intimidating behaviour.

Many women don’t report harassment because they don’t believe anything will happen. Marina Ahmad AM, London Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark, wants to understand and map women and girls’ experiences across both boroughs, what stops them from reporting, and what would help them feel safer.

All responses will remain confidential and anonymous.
