There have also been ten Scottish universities identified as places where girls and women have experienced sexual assault and harassment. Calls have been made for the Scottish Government to take action amid the staggering number of incidents. Mary Glasgow, chief executive of Children 1st, said there was a “need for a national review” as too many schools “downplay or dismiss young women’s experiences of sexual harassment instead of keeping them safe”.
