Students protest against treatment of women

BBC Midlands Today
Hundreds of students joined a protest on Thursday against the treatment of women at the University of Warwick.
Copyright: BBCThe organisers said women on campus felt "unsafe and unheard" and many had been the victim of some form of sexual assault.
They have been demanding changes from the university.
One woman said: "Within my social circle alone I know of four different women who have had extremely traumatising sexual assault issues and attacks."
A man said: "I've had so many friends who have unfortunately been affected by sexual assault."
The university said its policy on sexual misconduct was clear, it would not be tolerated and individuals found to have broken values would face expulsion or some other form of withdrawal from the university.
People had the right to feel safe, it stated.
