Safety and Harassment Safety and Harassment Young women feel vulnerable in isolated public areas and after dark, and are often targets of sexual harassment from males when using these areas at any time of day. Consequently they feel safer in groups when out together, and parents encourage this. These groups are often loud and can be seen by other people using the areas as dominating and threatening. Here are some thoughts from young people.
Guys like to look good in front of their mates, so they hassle girls.
That's just what boys do. Blacktown station is very isolated, very big. If you're on one side and called for help, no one would hear. I wouldn't come here after dark. You need other people to be around you.
