Ella Lamont and Sophia Harrison created an anonymous online survey to canvas the experiences of sexual violence. Last month, they gave an emotional poetry reading at Courtenay Place in Wellington at a rally against sexual violence.
A woman assaulted by a man and then kicked out of a Wellington bar without her cellphone or friends after complaining to a bouncer is one of many “appalling” stories told in a sexual violence survey on Wellington.
The survey creators, Ella Lamont and Sophia Harrison, presented the results to Wellington City Council on Thursday, provided possible solutions and demanded the city’s decision-makers take action on sexual violence in the capital.
