Many women ‘feel unsafe on London transport’ - poll

From the BBC:

More than a quarter of women do not feel safe using London public transport even in the day, a survey suggests.

The YouGov survey for the End Violence Against Women Coalition found that that 28% of women felt unsafe, compared with 15% of men.

The coalition of charities called on the next mayor to “make London the world’s safest city for women”.

Transport for London (TfL) said it “shares the call to make travelling in London as safe as possible”.
