Women and girls are telling us that they are being followed but don’t report it because they think nothing can be done.
They have recounted their experiences of being stared at or followed by older men in public, some of whom would attempt to initiate interaction with them.
This behaviour is not acceptable and should not be tolerated. If you are being followed, feel scared and think you might be in danger, call Lincolnshire Police on 999.
Alternatively, if you are in a safe place and do not need an immediate response, please visit the Lincolnshire Police website and submit an online report or call 101.
You can also tell us where you don’t feel safe by downloading the StreetSafe app.
In the coming weeks we’ll detail exactly what you can expect when you contact the police. If you want more information in the meantime visit the Violence Against Women and Girls section of the Lincolnshire Police website.
You can find that information here - Violence against women and girls | Lincolnshire Police (lincs.police.uk)
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Lincoln College and it’s students for helping us produce this video, which was based on real life accounts from women in Lincolnshire.
