Coachella 2018 hit the news for plenty of reasons – Beyoncé is one of the main ones. The annual music festival was packed with thousands of partygoers, who danced their days away, sampled the food and drink on offer, and filled their social media with photographic evidence of what a fantastic time they were having. However, Coachella, like many other music festivals, is also a hotbed of sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact. Some festivalgoers have reported being harassed, groped, or on the receiving end of unwanted sexual advances over 40 times during the festival. Teen Vogue interviewed 54 young women at the event and every single one of them had at least one story of sexual harassment.
The problem is not confined to Coachella either, with a 2016 survey revealing that 90% of all women who attended music festivals had been sexually harassed in some form, at least once. This wasn’t a particularly small-scale survey – over 1,000 women participated.
