A quarter of female students have been sexually assaulted

Mail covers NUS research that has found that a quarter of female students have been sexually assaulted and that one in seven had been the victim of a serious sexual or physical assault. However it also found that few go to the Police and than four in ten feared they’d be blamed. Olivia Bailey, NUS Women’s Officer (and WNC Commissioner): “It is particularly worrying that the perpitrators in many cases are fellow students. Women students can be left feeling like they are to blame for the violence committed against them.”
