All public transport workers to be trained to tackle sexual assault & harassment

Petition Details

Make it compulsory for all companies providing public transport services to train their staff in dealing with sexual assault and harassment on public transport. Work towards making public transport a sex-pest free zone.

Additional Information

97% of young women have been sexually harassed, it is clear that women’s safety in public spaces is an issue that needs to be addressed. Billions of public transport journeys are made each year and far too many of these are marked by interactions with sex pests. Making it compulsory for all public transport providers to educate their staff on these issues would reduce these incidents by deterring sex pests and give victims the confidence to speak out and know they will be supported.
