'They don't talk about it enough' report on young people's views on sexual violence

In the summer of 2014 as part of the 'Our Voices' project, the project team at the University of Bedfordshire, together with country partner projects, organised a number of consultations with Youth Advisors across Albania, Bulgaria and the UK.

The consultations aimed to find out from Youth Advisors:

• What young people feel the issues are around sexual violence in their communities
• What the barriers and challenges to young people talking about sexual violence and accessing support are
• What young people think could be done to stop sexual violence
• How young people could be more involved in preventing sexual violence

Forty-seven young people took part in the consultations and this report shares their view, ideas and perspectives.
