It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield

After growing sick of the rhetoric around women's safety, and how women were supposed to 'protect themselves' from harassment, Amy Watson started the social enterprise Hassl. The organisation is focused on addressing the root issues behind harassment and assault, and in a year has gained a massive following online. Abbie sits down with Amy to discuss her journey to starting Hassl, how to engage with men on the issue, and why she thinks the stats around harassment and assault are flawed.
