people often do not realise they are making women and girls feel unsafe or scared. you can help make women and girls feel safer in public spaces by making small changes such as: 1. do not walk directly behind a woman or girl if she is walking alone, cross the road 2. make a phone call, this can make women on their own feel safer if they know you are doing something else 3. if you are on or waiting for public transport, do not sit too close to a woman sitting alone 4. call out your friends (discreetly) if they are making inappropriate comments about women 5. if a woman is out exercising or walking their dog, try and keep your distance 6. leave women alone if they dont want to talk, you might just think you are being friendly, but she might feel uncomfortable or threatened
