The cost of living crisis is forcing many women to walk home after a night out, despite reporting safety concerns. New research suggests almost two-thirds of the public say personal safety is at the forefront of their mind on a night out.
It suggests around 81% of women who visit pubs, clubs and bars say they consider their safety when thinking about getting home. Around 63% of women say they plan their routes home before heading out.
Budweiser Brewing Group's research says the cost-of-living crisis has seen drinkers evaluating how they get back after nights out. With one in five women altering their behaviour to walk more, with 49% saying they take fewer taxis.
