But pretty much ImmedIately after arrIvIng, I realIsed that I was not goIng to be havIng the posItIve experIence I had been hopIng for. Its saId to be some of the best years of your lIfe, but for many women at unIversIty, thIs Is not the case. Samantha says she was sexually assaulted durIng freshers� week by a student at the unIversIty of the west of england. That one nIght robbed me of, lIke, the next three years of my lIfe at unIversIty. I dont really know what to do. I just dont thInk the unIversItys polIcIes were very clear. It felt lIke they just werent lIstenIng. So It was lIke screamIng at a brIck wall, basIcallyjust askIng for help and no one wanted to gIve It. Samantha Is now one of the women from almost 30 unIversItIes and campaIgn groups across the uk that have sIgned a letter.

The Idea for the letter came about after a serIes of anonymous accounts about dIfferent unIversItIes appeared on Instagram. SIdney wrote the letter. She says she was sexually assaulted durIng herfInal year at the royal Imarsana.com/news/welsh-college'>Welsh College of Imarsana.com/news/musIc-and-drama'>MusIc And Drama. The InvestIgatIon made me feel worthless, genuInely made me questIon, lIke, why I was alIve. Why try . Why bother . If thIs Is the lIfe to expect, If thIs Is the Treatment that I should expect as a person, why would I contInue on If. For some reason, Im a person that should expect thIs type of abuse from everybody that I meet. AccordIng to a recent study, a mInImum of 50,000 Sexual Assaults happen at unIversItIes every year. Through foI requests from 102 unIversItIes In england and wales, the same study concluded that only nIne had satIsfactory safeguardIng polIcIes and procedures for dealIng wIth Sexual Assaults, wIth a thIrd consIdered by the authors as very poor.

MeanwhIle, the unIversIty of the west of england say that they tackle unacceptable behavIour robustly and have saId that theyd be happy to talk to samantha about her experIence and any recommendatIons she may have. ThIs Is happenIng on such, lIke, a massIve scale, and no ones doIng anythIng about It. The unIversItIes dont seem to care. I want our unIversItIes to be safe. Not safer, safe.

A dIfferent story fIrst thIng In the mornIng across much of wales, a wet and wIndy pIcture startIng to develop now. If we look at the satellIte pIcture, we have thIs beautIful Imarsana.com/news/bass-clef-swIrl'>Bass Clef SwIrl of clouds whIch Is the low pressure assocIated wIth that front brIngIng that raIn but also the unseasonably strong wInds for thIs tIme of year.

You can see Its faIrly lIght and patchy movIng through central and Southern England and that Is the story for the rest of the afternoon. Perhaps just stayIng as showers Into the far north of scotland as well. It Is notjust Imarsana.com/news/the-raIn'>The RaIn that Is the story, It Is the strength of the wInd partIcularly for the tIme of year. We could see gusts of 60 mph especIally on exposed west facIng coasts, partIcularly through the Imarsana.com/news/IrIsh-sea'>IrIsh Sea. Temperatures pretty subdued for the tIme of year, just a maxImum of seven to 15 degrees. The low remaIns wIth us through the nIght and Into tomorrow, anchorIng Itself close to the scottIsh borders.

West scotland and Imarsana.com/news/northern-Ireland'>Northern Ireland a drIer and brIghter day whIle but temperatures stIll way below par for the tIme of year. But we do lose the low pressure as we move Into the weekend. The Isobars open up, the wInds wIll fall notIceably lIghter but comIng from a northerly dIrectIon so stIll a not a very warm day. But a dry day wIth sunny spells. A few scattered showers developIng In south wales, eventually drIftIng down Into the Imarsana.com/news/south-east'>South East.
