"Normal" for schoolgirls to have "legs stroked" on Tube

The founder of the Everyday Sexism Project Laura Bates, spoke to Richard Bacon about harassment teenage schoolgirls in London experienced on the Tube when travelling to school.

"They said, we will be in our school uniform and it’s normal that once every few weeks someone will either sit down next to you and start stroking your legs or they’ll rub up behind you with an erection; and certainly it’s normal that you will get comments every few weeks”, said Laura Bates.
