Good question... but even in broad daylight there's still quiet secluded areas, some parks and paths for e.g can be like graveyards even in the daytime. There's some places i would be wary of walking by myself... even in daylight.

…we don’t know if there were witnesses to the daylight attack which was talked about in the vid…?…there may have been but she did say that it was in a quiet area but in daylight hours…as GoldHeart said, though…with any secluded area, no matter what time of the day…many women can feel reluctant to walk alone because they feel vulnerable…we hear of many, many attacks on females that aren’t at night…even in crowded public beaches….

True I suppose.

It's kind of frustrating to see someone do something so monstrous and get away with it in broad daylight, because imo you've got to have some arrogance to know that you can assault someone without help arriving.

…or a lack of police presence, which is sadly becoming a recurring thing with many crimes…

So we have the ITV video and the males it showed

SO you would think a Government video warning about male sexual harassment (voice by Olivia Coleman) would reflect reality?

oh

[thesheriff443]

It’s all white males and yet it’s black males portrayed as the ones that know it’s wrong

Honestly people can throw out it’s because you’re being racist but come on
It’s taking the fkn p1ss

I suggest to any woman walking alone at night and cannot carry anything illegal to protect themselves for fear of being the one who is arrested... A small can of hairspray in one pocket and a.lighter in the other, both legal - and burn the ****er's face off.

Poor Parmy just walking by ...and boom!

[Christmas Spirit]

Talking of things to carry ... here's 2 perfectly LEGAL things for safety & protection.

Let's say it's being caught ' RED handed'

Then of course there's the alarm siren which will deafen them.

The Advert is definitely heavy handed in the way that it's going about it imo, and the acting is really comically bad for such a serious topic.

But I suppose to play Devil's Advocate, there are far more white men in the UK than any other race of men, so the odds of a white man being a sex offender in the UK is going to be more likely.

Maybe 1 in so many...

But I bet asian men are about 1 in 3

I think it depends more on the area ,rather than UK has a whole. As overall UK is very diverse , especially nowadays.

Some areas will be predominantly white , whilst other areas more
multi cultural.

I'm interested to know if you're right on those stats.

But I'm scared of being on a watchlist if I were to search it up.

That's a fair point.

I just would still imagine that white men would be the majority guilty party of sex crimes in the UK, but it probably is closer than I'm thinking in other parts of the country, compared to where I live which is a predominantly white area.

Well for e.g if we're talking London in chelsea or somewhere then yeah the culprit will likely be white .

Whereas Peckham there's more of a chance of him being from different backgrounds.

Tbh I can see your point.

…it’s a good video imo because it’s showing what this thread has discussed and highlighted, which is that sexual harassment is a broad daylight and crowded space issue for women as well…and an harraser/attacker/threat can be any and every shape, size or skin colour…Sarah Everard was kidnapped and brutally murdered by a police officer …someone we all would have thought of as being a ‘person of safety’….the whole point that both vids are meant to be focusing on is women and their safety and not skin colour…

I agree with most of what you're saying.

I do think though that the second video making every predator to be a white person is a bit OTT, but in the grand scheme of things the bigger focus should be on the sexual harassment issues that are happening in this country.

Especially with cases like Sarah Everard (like you've said yourself tbf,) that case always needs to be highlighted on how unsafe women actually are in some parts of the country.

..it’s not OTT (…imo…)…because it’s not relevant to the actions of any predator as to what the skin colour is…sex crimes are mainly against women and that’s what both of those vids are about and that’s where the focus is being aimed at…I mean, just take one of those situations of say…the guy on the train sexually assaulting a female in such a public space/place and a place where it would be felt to have been completely safe…?..but the video is showing how that’s not always the case…it doesn’t need to be dark and it doesn’t need to be remote etc…the victims are all women and I can’t imagine any woman watching either of those vids and any of their thoughts bring about skin colour…
