I was promoted by TrustPilot to give an honest review of my experience - so here it is.I was assaulted by an attendee of a convention and although the police were helpful, the organiser of the convention had a very outdated 'not my problem' response to the incident - there was a incredible lack of duty of care to the point where I was told 'it didn't happen in the actual function hall, it's not our issue'. Furthermore, when I asked if the person who attacked me would return, I myself was asked not to attend any further conventions. This is my sticking point and bone of contention - women should never be made to feel that they deserved what happened and then asked to be silent and dismissed from future activities. The organiser has since deleted the communication but luckily before this happened, I took screenshots. I have been encouraged to remain silent which, in this day and age is shocking. What happened to the 'me too' movement? Why is this still happening in this day and age? I would hope no one experiences what I did - but if you do, do not expect support or empathy. Out of sight, out of mind springs to mind.
