Oh, yes, what's your name, please
0:02
It's Georgina. Georgina, lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. What would you like to make, please? So, I feel very strongly about this
0:08
I walk home at night and everything. I just want to know when this is all going to come to an end
0:14
cos I am actually scared for my life. So, would you mind just talking to me a bit about..
0:19
Do you mind me asking how old you are? Sorry, I shouldn't... I'm 24. You're 24. And so, what does it mean for you
0:26
Are you scared of... What is it? Walking past a migrant head? Have you been threatened? I haven't been threatened, it's just more of hearing everything on the news
0:33
about what women are going through with all the migrations and everything like that. It just... I have to keep looking back when I'm walking home
0:40
because I just... It gets to the point where I just don't feel safe
0:45
And do you feel less safe now than you did maybe a few years ago? Yeah, 100%. When I was 18, I could just walk straight home
0:51
from, like, the train station, which used to be, like, an hour away
0:55
Now, I live, like, 35 minutes from my job and I'm just constantly looking behind, looking over my shoulder
1:00
And where do you live? I live in Essex. In Essex. Good place
1:07
Can I just ask you, though, is it particularly a fear of migrants
1:14
or is it generally because there so much reporting of violence against women and girls and so much reporting of sexual crime
1:28
and we know that less than 2% of reported rapes, for example
1:34
actually end up in prosecution? Are those the things that make you scared
1:37
Or for some reason, is there a specific reason why it would be the migrant issue
1:43
that is what's engendering your fear? I'd say it's more a bit of a both
1:48
but mostly the immigrants coming over. I know it's... I'm trying to get my words out
1:55
It's OK. It's fair enough to have a fear. A lot of people do have a fear that maybe because women are treated
2:00
differently in different cultures, for example, that that might pose a risk to you
2:05
What's the policing like in the area where you live? It's questionable. It is questionable
2:13
Yeah, there we go. Well, thank you very much. I'm sorry that turned into a bit of an interview of yourself there
2:17
But it's interesting because, can I just say, well done for Santia. Well done. Really well done
2:27
It's a great thing to come on the television and ask a question generally. I think it's also a very difficult topic to talk about
2:32
and it is also really nice to hear from a real-life younger lady
2:35
about the experiences that she feels she's going through because I do often think that they are put to the back of the queue when it comes to this
2:41
So thank you very much for that
