Combating Male Harassment and Violence Against Women/Girls with the WalkSafe App, with Emma Kay, Founder and CEO of WalkSafe App

According to a recent UK Study, 59% of girls and young women aged 13-21 have faced some form of sexual harassment at school or college in the past 12 months. 30% of 16 -18 year old girls say they have experienced unwanted sexually touching by boys at school. Nearly 71% of all 16-18 year old (boys and girls) say they hear sexual name calling towards girls, such as slut and slag, at school on a daily basis. 90% of girls and 50% of boys in secondary school have been sexually harassed by being sent explicit/pornographic pictures and videos to their devices.

These stats are just the stats on our children.

1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted/raped in their lifetime. A mere 2 in 100 rapes that are reported will result in a conviction - and 4 out 5 rapes go UNREPORTED; leaving a massive amount of rapists (men) to roam our streets and rape freely .

Joining host Jennie on this weeks episode is Emma Kay. She is the Founder and CEO of WalkSafe App. It is the UK's leading personal safety App which combines journey sharing features and national safe space maps. Emma's vision, work and purpose with the WalkSafe App has been and continues to be a much needed literal lifeline for women and school girls, each time we leave the safety of our homes.
