Perceived safety at night

A total of 88% of respondents feel safe inside venues, 74% in the streets of nightlife areas and 60% travelling home. Women and men feel equally safe inside venues. The gap between genders is on the way home: 75% of men feel safe, against 48% of women.

For LGBTQIA+ respondents, 64% feel safe in the streets, against 83% of other respondents, whilst 66% avoided going out in the past year because they did not feel safe, against 34% of others.

An expert described a culture of “looking after your mates”. When asked, 78% of respondents say other people around them would be helpful during incidents, including venue staff.

A survey respondent named GAYM Entertainment for creating a community and home where queer people can feel safe, and said they could go alone and be welcomed.
