thetee-we-ve— information has not been out there?-we've just- information has not been out there? we've just had no way there? no, we've just had no way to ghmttty— there? no, we've just had no way to ghmttty the— there? no, we've just had no way to quantify the extent of the htehtem. — to quantify the extent of the l htehtem. —se to quantify the extent of the - problem. _so the problem. no, none at all. so the crime survey for england and wales asks victims where rapes take place and one of those categories is somewhere else, either in a perpetrator's home or, you know, a victim's home. and a whole series of others. but that's somewhere else. category accounts for around 19% of rapes reported to the crime survey of england and wales. that's somewhere else isn't broken down yet . we know that broken down yet. we know that there's sexual violence that takes place in hospitals. so this was an attempt to, if you like, get under the bonnet of that and find out what is the shape size of the problem. shape and size of the problem. now, i find it quite odd, just as a criminologist of 26 years now , i find it quite odd that now, i find it quite odd that the police police don't have a marker for on any of the data that they collect. that would indicate hospitals because as we said in that report, hospitals aren't somewhere else. hospitals aren't somewhere else. hospitals are a very specific environment
12:37 am
where there's often intimate care of one variety or another . care of one variety or another. and it's also where we are often in as the report title is , are in as the report title is, are most vulnerable. well, quite so for predatory opportunists. it's the place, you know, ehvtehety— it's the place, you know, obviously that's there's an ephemhmty— obviously that's there's an opportunity there. but also this teeettet— opportunity there. but also this was recorded or— opportunity there. but also this was recorded or the information that— was recorded or the information that you— was recorded or the information that you hunt— was recorded or the information that you found was from the teeth— that you found was from the hehet et— that you found was from the period of the— that you found was from the period of the pandemic. right there-e— period of the pandemic. right now, there's issues with that. i mean, you mentioned your mean, you mentioned in your etttete— mean, you mentioned in your etttete tet— mean, you mentioned in your article for the— mean, you mentioned in your article for the that, article for the mail that, you thew,— know, of course, people are weehhg— know, of course, people are timing-.— know, of course, people are wearing-. that's- know, of course, people are. wearing-. that'slgood know, of course, people are- wearing-. that'slgood way wearing masks. that's a good way to htte— wearing masks. that's a good way to htte yout— wearing masks. that's a good way to hide your identity. yes but at to hide your identity. yes but et-eeme— to hide your identity. yes but at-same time,— to hide your identity. yes but at same time, you would at the same time, you would expect— at the same time, you would. expect—there expect during a pandemic there to expect during a pandemic there te—eeehhty- expect during a pandemic there te—eeehhty hl expect during a pandemic therei to-security in the to be heightened security in the heehttete. — to be heightened security in the hospitals. -there l to be heightened security in the. hospitals. -there was hospitals. indeed. and there was no hospitals. indeed. and there was m t— hospitals. indeed. and there was no i mean, the question no i mean, i think the question about, predatory men about, you know, predatory men coming is we coming into hospital is we presume course, presume it's men, of course, because, know, 99% of sexual because, you know, 99% of sexual violence is committed by men. but we presume i presume that that's actually a very low number of people actually coming into the hospitals like that. the stories that have come out either or people who either on twitter or people who have directly as a have emailed me directly as a result of the publication of the report have been stories of junior doctors, physio ,
12:38 am
junior doctors, physio, therapists, health care assistants . it's basically assistants. it's basically breaching committing sexual violence . so i think that idea violence. so i think that idea that the sexual offender is somewhere out there, you know , somewhere out there, you know, this predatory individual , this predatory individual, actually, what this report may be indicating is that the sexual predator is in here and isn't that the case so often with sexual assaults, cases of sexual assaults, it's people that people know or who are residing nearby. erg absolutely. now, there's something else that's really about this really important about this report. the other that we report. the other thing that we didn't for in retrospect didn't ask for in retrospect we maybe have, but i'd like maybe should have, but i'd like to and ask it . is to go back and ask for it. is the the victims , the the sex of the victims, the actual location in hospitals and the sex of the perpetrators ? the sex of the perpetrators? right now, funnily enough , being right now, funnily enough, being able to ask that question , i able to ask that question, i would never have been able to do it. i don't mean to go back to the open university, but i would never have been able to that never have been able to do that at open university, because at the open university, because even asking question like that even asking a question like that would have gone would have had to have gone through the ethics committee and

it could got there . it could have got stuck there. it might be worth talking to heehte— it might be worth talking to heehte ghett— it might be worth talking to people about or- it might be worth talking to people about or just explaining whet—yee- people about or just explaining whet—yee et- people about or just explaining what-you at youri what happened to you at your heetehe— what happened to you at your experience .the- what happened to you at your experience the open experience at the open hhtvetetty. — experience at the open university. lived university. oh yes. i've lived it university. oh yes. i've lived tt tet— university. oh yes. i've lived tt tot he— university. oh yes. i've lived it for so long now. i assume everybody knows i worked the everybody knows i worked at the open university for quite a while . i hold gender critical while. i hold gender critical views. i wanted to ask about the competing rights of trans gender prisoners and women in prison . prisoners and women in prison. i've done, you know, 26 years of sexual violence and crimes against women. so i wanted to ask about that whole question . ask about that whole question. and i had been basically side silenced by my colleagues. i was silent after i got cancelled at essex university. motty i then after the reindorf report, which was a report into what happened to me at essex, said that cancelling academics is unlawful and then after the maya forstater ruling , which gave us forstater ruling, which gave us protected gender critical rights , i launched the open university gender critical research network and my life descended into what
12:40 am
can only be described as just a continuum of hell . so there was continuum of hell. so there was petition lines that were signed, open letters that were put forward. my direct colleagues were asking for us to be discriminated for against, the university to disaffiliate the research network simply because and this is where we come back to the question with the report. yes that research network, its mission was to ask where, why, when , how and to what effect sex when, how and to what effect sex matters. people will be really eheetet— matters. people will be really shocked because - people will be really shocked because you also got a lot shocked because you also got a hot et— shocked because you also got a lot of harassment- shocked because you also got a lot of harassment and abuse. and it lot of harassment and abuse. and tt wee— lot of harassment and abuse. and tt very— lot of harassment and abuse. and tt very yee— lot of harassment and abuse. and it was very you know, we've we've discussed - it was very you know, we've we've discussed this before and heehte— we've discussed this before and heehte wit— we've discussed this before and heehte wttt he— we've discussed this before and people will be shocked that an teetemte— people will be shocked that an teetemte et— people will be shocked that an academic of such- people will be shocked that an academic of such standing academic of such high standing whe— academic of such high standing wheletmhty— academic of such high standing who simply asking the who is simply asking the gheettehe— who is simply asking the questions academic questions that an academic i meh|ey— questions that an academic i mean you're criminologist. mean, you're a criminologist. thte— mean, you're a criminologist. thte-teh. — mean, you're a criminologist. this-job. right.- mean, you're a criminologist. this job. right. but this is yourjob. right. but heee— this is yourjob. right. but because sensitivity because of the sensitivity eeehe— because of the sensitivity around that around this particular area that you around this particular area that yeh eheehh— around this particular area that you ehehtt he— around this particular area that you should be demonised and meneteteh— you should be demonised and monstered. yeah.- you should be demonised and monstered. yeah. as a means to prevent— monstered. yeah. as a means to prevent the— monstered. yeah. as a means to prevent the facts- monstered. yeah. as a means to prevent the facts coming out. veeh. — prevent the facts coming out. veeh. wett— prevent the facts coming out. yeah. well, quite.- prevent the facts coming out. yeah. well, quite.

12:41 am
interesting only you know on twitter, you know, if you take twitter, you know, if you take twitter to mean anything on twitter to mean anything on twitter there have been several attempts to brand this piece of research transphobic , which is research transphobic, which is just crazy in my mind because what we're actually talking about is, you know, sexual violence in hospitals is. but because one of the calls to action on is to actually rethink the suspension of nxb , in other the suspension of nxb, in other words, to reintroduce single sex wards . and one of the other wards. and one of the other calls to action is to actually get the information from the police about whether it's female victims or male perpetrators. but this is very important, is it but this is very important, is tt heee— but this is very important, is it because last- but this is very important, is it because last year there was an attempted— it because last year there was an attempted sexual assault at a heehttet— an attempted sexual assault at a heehttet h— an attempted sexual assault at a hospital in london- an attempted sexual assault at a hospital in london and the heme— hospital in london and the hottee wee— hospital in london and the police were called . the police police were called. the police twmet— police were called. the police twmet wh— police were called. the police twmet uh mt— police were called. the police turned up and said to the memhee— turned up and said to the members of- turned up and said to the members of staff, well, we need to hweettgete— members of staff, well, we need to investigate this. - members of staff, well, we need to investigate this. and the ettm— to investigate this. and the ettm-het- to investigate this. and the staff not possible staff said it's not possible hewee— staff said it's not possible because that because there's no men on that wett— because there's no men on that watt thewhg— because there's no men on that ward knowing.well- because there's no men on that ward knowing well that ward knowing full well that there— ward knowing full well that there-e— ward knowing full well that there a biological male who there was a biological male who ttehttttet— there was a biological male who identified -the. identified as female on the watt.— identified as female on the wet. se— identified as female on the ward. so and- identified as female on the ward. so and that that means there— ward. so and that that means there the— ward. so and that that means there are serious- ward. so and that that means there are serious stakes here. there— there are serious stakes here. there we— there are serious stakes here. there are serious,- there are serious stakes here. there are serious, serious. there are serious, serious stakes. and it isn't just what's
12:42 am
happening in hospitals and the degree to which, for lack of better words, gender identity, ideology , albie is underpinning ideology, albie is underpinning how hospitals are approaching this issue. and i'll just kind of sideways for a second here. part of the report was looking at the policies that nhs foundation trusts us hospitals use the care standards, quality commission news and the push behind all of those policies is to create sexual safety . arnie to create sexual safety. arnie right. and they talk about sexual safety incidences. that is the first time in my life i have ever heard sexual violence referred to as sexual safety. and part of that is around, you know , ensuring that gender know, ensuring that gender identity is respected. if you read these policies, they quite literally and i hate to use the word, but they erase sexual violence. now i don't know if i have a second more, but if i have a second more, but if i have one more second. the other thing that in the reaction to
12:43 am
the report that has come to light is that the police forces who did answer the foi didn't take some police forces, didn't take some police forces, didn't take it seriously . now i'm just take it seriously. now i'm just going to mention one derbyshire shire police force . if you look shire police force. if you look on the table that we provide in the report, they were the second highest for rapes and sexual assaults with just over a thousand right now when the report landed and it attracted so much media attention, derbyshire police force contacted . one and they also contacted. one and they also made a public statement saying that when they did the foi all they did was, in effect a fuzzy word search for the word hospital on any sexual violence case. so they justified in one statement it that they made they justified the fact that those numbers were so high because it could have occurred on something like a road called hospital road right now at that time , when right now at that time, when i discovered that, i thought, well, this is ludicrous because
12:44 am
i'm sure there aren't that many hospital roads in the derbyshire police force area. but they've gone back. they've relooked at their own data and the numbers come in much lower. there has been, you know, a request to change the data. we're not going to because that report is an historical report. but what does that tell you? that there wasn't thet— that tell you? that there wasn't that diligence - that tell you? that there wasn't that diligence about- 7 that there wasn't that diligence about such a serious subject? mean, serious subject? quite. i mean, that-e— serious subject? quite. i mean, that's-disturbing. i that's very, very disturbing. wett— that's very, very disturbing. well,-disturbing. that's very, very disturbing. l well,-disturbing when well, it's very disturbing when you in light of the casey you put it in light of the casey report. and, you know, the question of institutional misogyny forces, misogyny within police forces, it's serious problem. misogyny within police forces, it's a serious problem. misogyny within police forces, it's a really; problem. misogyny within police forces, it's a really important well it's a really important report. and , you know, i hope it report. and, you know, i hope it thee— report. and, you know, i hope it does-awareness- report. and, you know, i hope it does-awareness that. does raise the awareness that heete— does raise the awareness that heete te— does raise the awareness that heete to he— does raise the awareness that needs to be raised as result. does raise the awareness that he phoean,! raised as result. does raise the awareness that he phoenix, thanks as result. does raise the awareness that he phoenix, thanks so result. does raise the awareness that he phoenix, thanks so muchilt. does raise the awareness that he phoenix, thanks so much for jo phoenix, thanks so much for tehhg—yewl jo phoenix, thanks so much for tehhg—yew .| joining us today. thank you. atte— joining us today. thank you. the the— joining us today. thank you. after the break- joining us today. thank you. after the break on free speech wetteh— after the break on free speech wetteh eetee— after the break on free speech nation, actor james dreyfus will join nation, actor james dreyfus will the me— nation, actor james dreyfus will the me te— nation, actor james dreyfus will join me to discuss- nation, actor james dreyfus will join me to discuss the life of the— join me to discuss the life of the brilliant- join me to discuss the life of the brilliant comedian and entertainer- the brilliant comedian and entertainer barry humphries, who very— entertainer barry humphries, who wety eetty— entertainer barry humphries, who wety eetty heeeet— entertainer barry humphries, who very sadly passed away yeetettey. — very sadly passed away yesterday. see you shortly .
