<\/div>\nWhat happened?<\/strong><\/h2>\nAround September\/ October time, once all the university students have moved back in, the reports of drink spiking typically increase. But the reports this year have reached unusually high figures.<\/p>\n
Across several social media platforms, dozens of female students have been sharing experiences of blacking out on nights out, saying they had symptoms of, feeling dizzy, drowsy, nauseous, or feeling far more drunk than usual. Only to wake up with an inflamed injection wound on their body.<\/p>\n
Posts then littered Instagram warning women of the dangers of foreign, unclean needles posing serious health issues like HIV and that vital hospital attention would be needed within 72 hours! <\/p>\n
What have the police done?<\/strong><\/h2>\nAs we know, spiking in any form is a criminal offence but there are concerns that the police are failing to take any sexual violence allegations against women seriously. Figures show that if 500 cases of drink spiking have been reported, none will be convicted, that\u2019s outrageous!<\/p>\n
CEO of Night-Time Industries Association, Michael Kill, said the reports have \u201clevelled some serious concern\u201d among nightclubs.<\/p>\n
He said the NTIA\u2019s members are working with police forces and looking at retraining, safeguarding, and searching protocols at venues.<\/p>\n
But many women feel that this is not enough as it does not stop the spiking from happening!<\/p>\n
What can we do?<\/strong><\/h2>\nWomen across the UK joined the movement GirlsNightIn to boycott nightclubs to promote awareness of women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n
Over 70 cities across the UK are expected to hold a boycott from 25th<\/sup> October to 5th<\/sup> November.<\/p>\nLeeds Student Izzy Broadhurst told ITV that she \u201curged nightclub owners to take responsibility for the safety of people in their clubs and called out a \u201cculture of victim-blaming. This is a really serious crime, and it can be traumatic and clubs need to acknowledge that and make sure all staff are trained in what to do\u201d.<\/p>\n
The only words I have to say is that reporting does not get the job done, it is appalling that women have to take matters into their own hands to find solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
