Sexual harassment at ‘shocking’ levels in Britain’s schools

GIRLS in Britain are subjected to “shocking” levels of sexual harassment in public and at school, a new report has revealed.

Teachers’ union NEU said the findings by women’s rights group Plan International show “systematic failures to protect and promote girls’ rights” in Britain.

The report, published yesterday, reveals that 66 per cent of girls aged between 14 and 21 have received unwanted sexual attention or harassment in the street.
