00:00Oh, yes, what's your name please?
00:02It's Georgina. Georgina, lovely to meet you.
00:04Nice to meet you too. And what point would you like to make, please?
00:06So, I feel very strongly about this. I walk home at night and everything.
00:10I just want to know when this is all going to come to an end,
00:14because I am actually scared for my life.
00:17So, would you mind just talking to me a bit about, do you mind me asking how old you are?
00:21I'm sorry. I'm 24.
00:22You're 24, and so what does it mean for you?
00:26Are you scared of, what is it, walking past a migrant head towel?
00:29Have you been threatened? I haven't been threatened.
00:31It's just more of hearing everything on the news about what women are going through
00:35with all the migrations and everything like that.
00:37It just, I have to keep looking back when I'm walking home,
00:41because I just, it gets to the point where I just don't feel safe.
00:45And do you feel less safe now than you did maybe a few years ago?
00:48Yeah, 100%. When I was 18, I could just walk straight home
00:52from, like, the train station, which used to be, like, an hour away.
00:55Now, I live, like, 35 minutes from my job, and I'm just constantly looking behind,
00:59looking over my shoulder.
01:00And where do you live?
01:01I live in Essex.
01:02In Essex. And...
01:03Good place.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Can I just ask you, though, is it particularly a fear of migrants,
01:15or is it generally because there's so much reporting of violence against women and girls,
01:24and so much reporting of sexual crime? And we know that less than 2% of reported rapes,
01:33for example, actually end up in prosecution. Are those the things that make you scared?
01:38Or, for some reason, is there a specific reason why it would be the migrant issue that is what's engendering your fear?
01:47I'd say it's more a bit of a both, but mostly the immigrants coming over. It's... I know it's... I'm trying to get my words out.
01:55It's OK. It's fair enough to have a fear. A lot of people do have a fear that maybe because there's...
02:00women are treated differently in different cultures, for example, that...
02:03Yes, it's exactly that.
02:04That might pose a risk to you.
02:05It's... What's the policing like in the area where you live?
02:08Mmm, it's questionable. It is questionable.
02:13Yeah, there we go. Well, thank you very much.
02:15And sorry that turned into a bit of an interview of yourself there.
02:17That's fine.
02:18But it's interesting because... Can I just say...
02:20Well done for San Diego. Well done.
02:22Really well done.
02:27It's a great thing to come on the television and ask a question generally.
02:30I think it's also a very difficult topic to talk about,
02:32and it is also really nice to hear from, you know, a real-life younger lady
02:36about the experiences that she feels she's going through.
02:38Because I do often think that they are put to the back of the queue when it comes to this.
02:41So thank you very much for that.
