Sexual abuse and violence is an act carried out against another person where the motivation is sexual and the victim does not consent. It can be anything from catcalling (which is regarded as street harassment) and flashing to sexual assault and rape.
To report sexual abuse, members of the public should phone police on 101 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, via CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, always call 999.
