A play exploring sexual harassment and assault against women is being performed in Yorkshire

It came, in part, as a response to the horrific murder of Sarah Everard, and the protests and social media movements that followed.

Only three per cent of those aged 18-24 said they had not experienced sexual harassment of any kind, including being cat-called or stared at, unwelcome touching or groping, being physically followed, having suggestive or indecent content shared with them, being forced into taking part in sexual behaviour and more.

The team hope that the play will start conversations on how to change that - how men can help, as well as highlighting how prevalent sexual harassment towards women actually is and what support is available for those affected. Also part of the play are Dawid Bas, Danny Barraclough, Lizzie Waterhouse, Rachel Vincent, Logan Wilby, Callum Monkman, Finley Brown and Nia Swindells.

After each showing of the play, the team is providing space for a question and answer session to explore topics raised in the show and to highlight what the community would like to change, and where anyone impacted by sexual assault can get support.
