[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 644528, member: 537"] I think most women who have walked a lot of caminos have stories like these. I have been flashed at least four or five times on the Camino Francés, almost always when walking with another woman, once alone. Once I was groped by an old guy on a bicycle. Reporting is the one concrete thing that everyone should take the time to do. And for those who think it is not worth the effort to report, read this thread: [URL]https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/metoo-on-camino.55848/[/URL] Of course, everyone has to make their own decision about comfort level and walking alone. If you cannot shake your fear, you of course should not walk alone. But I for one have kept on walking alone and cannot imagine having to give that up. It’s all about risks and I have been able to take comfort in knowing that I am far safer on the Camino than I am every day in my home town where crime, guns, and violence are a daily occurrence. Here is a note from the moderators, which we try to post in response to all of these reported incidents: There is continuing concern about incidents affecting female pilgrims. We reiterate the advice given by a number of pilgrim associations and the Spanish authorities: Before you set out, programme the emergency number 112 into your telephone. Consider downloading this App issued by the Spanish government: [URL]https://alertcops.ses.mir.es/mialertcops/info/info.xhtml[/URL] The app allows anyone in Spain to send an alert from a mobile device "smartphone'"straight to the police.. If you feel threatened or uncomfortable or if you are assaulted in any way TRY TO REMOVEyourself to a place of safety immediately Call the police – the best number to use is 112 which covers all of Spain (and much of Europe) and which has operators who speak English. And please, please, REPORT all incidents to the police. Too many of these unlawful aggressions are never reported, which means that the full extent of the problem is hidden from the authorities.
