Reports of rape and other attacks are on the rise, and music festivals are not immune to allegations of rape and sexual assault.
A new report from Teen Vogue features interviews with 54 women who attended Coachella, a music festival in California, US, all of whom reported some form of sexual harassment. Journalist Vera Papisova, who wrote the article, said she was groped 22 times in just 10 hours on the festival grounds in Indio.
Last year in the UK dozens of Britain’s biggest music festivals held a website blackout on Monday to increase awareness of sexual violence at their events.
