LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 28: A woman and child walk past placards saying 'It's sexual harassment', 'She is someone' and 'Educate your sons' attached to the fence outside James Allen's Girls' School (JAGS) on March 28, 2021 in London, England. The school's pupils pinned placards and red ribbons to the fence in protest against 'rape culture' and a nearby boys school which they have called a 'breeding ground for sexual predators'. The red ribbons are to represent each 'abuse survivor' at the school. Several other London schools faced similar allegations following an online campaign called "Everyone's Invited," which prompted anonymous students to share testimonies of sexual assault and harassment they experienced.
