In an article written for The Guardian, the ‘LabourToo Activists’ said: “Our experiences over decades point to a culture that tolerates the routine dismissal of women’s encounters with abuse, and gives little redress to victims seeking justice from mainly senior male perpetrators.”

The article also outlines that there were a number of reports that mention “men who were ‘handsy’ or ‘inappropriate’” – men who were well known Labour members, with one’s behaviour being described as “that’s just how he is.”

The “shocking and distressing” reports were submitted to the Labour leaders in the hopes of convincing “those who run our Party to take these issues more seriously and create a consensus to change policy and cultural norms within our organisation.”

LabourToo is the brave hashtag exposing sexual assault in the Labour Party
