A research team from the University of Manchester, collaborating with two North-West police forces, is conducting a study on the experiences, perceptions, and fear of abuse faced by women who run or jog. This includes verbal abuse, cat-calling, being followed or flashed at, as well as physical and sexual assaults. They are particularly interested in understanding how incidents of abuse are responded to, such as sharing with friends or reporting to the police.
The aim is to increase knowledge and understanding of women's experiences, identify locations and times of incidents, and improve social and police responses. If you'd like to share your experiences, the survey link provides more information and allows you to participate.
