A new report has found almost half of young Australian women do not feel safe walking home alone at night. The Mission Australia Gender Gaps 2018 Youth Survey found clear differences between what young females are concerned about compared to males.
The survey asked nearly 30-thousand teenagers aged between 15 and 19 from across Australia about their values, worries and goals.
The results revealed young women tend to be more stressed, worry more about school and studying and have greater body image issues.
In particular, the survey highlighted the fact young women do not feel as safe as boys their own age when it comes to walking home alone at night.
