Sex abuses part of UK girls’ daily life

Edited by Rasha Mohamed:
A new study has revealed that sexual harassment has become part of girls’ lives across the UK with nearly 60 percent of girls and young women reporting sexual abuse at school or college.
According to a report by Girlguiding UK, girls as young as seven are experience sexual harassments.
More than 1,400 girls and young women aged between seven and 21 across the UK were polled.
The study by the charity organization also warns that sexual harassments are coming to be seen as just “a normal aspect of being a girl.”
Meanwhile, over half of the girls surveyed, aged between 11 and 16, said teachers had told them to ignore incidents of sexual harassment.
Back in September, a survey by the National Union of Students revealed that sexual abuses are rife on British university campuses.
Out of 2,156 men and women surveyed, 37 percent of women and 12 percent of men said they had faced sexual assaults.
“These stats show that harassment is rife on campus, but we still keep hearing from universities that there is no fear, no intimidation, no problem - well this new research says otherwise,” NUS President Toni Pearce said.
Meanwhile, the founder of National Association for People Abused in Childhood, called the revelation very "disturbing and scary."
