Teenage girls involved in a women-led history walking tour in Wollongong have spoken out after allegedly being harassed by a group of teenage boys during the event. Organisers of the “She Shapes History” tour said the incident left participants distressed and highlighted broader concerns about respect, safety and attitudes toward women in public spaces. The girls encouraged other young women to stay together, speak up when uncomfortable, and report inappropriate behaviour. The incident has prompted wider discussion in the Illawarra community about youth behaviour and public accountability.
