"This Will Be The First Of Many Boycotts"

On Wednesday a "night in" resulted in bars and clubs being boycotted to highlight the issue.

The National Police Chiefs' Council says there have been 198 confirmed reports of spiking happening in September and October across the UK.

There were also 24 other cases which involved claims an injection was used.

Sophie goes to Swansea University and is part of the Walk -Safe Swansea group. She told us: "It's so important to keep raising awareness about this. I think it's something like 40% of women won't actually report anything because not only are they scared, they don't think anything will be done about it, but always report it. If you see something that you don't think is normal or you think his bizarre, go to a bouncer or the security guard - that's what they're there for. If you see something in your drinks that you don't think is normal, give it back. Ask for another one. "

She told us the whole protocol for women on a night out is changing. From monitoring drinks, no one going to the loo alone. She says it's important everyone looks out for each other and that you feel safe with the people you go out with. Sophie advises when drinking alcohol "Always ask for ice. If your drink has been spiked, ice will not float. I know it's annoying when you want to go out and have a good time to always have to watch a drink, but it's so important because it could save your life. It could save you a lot of pain and it could save you a trip to the hospital. Ice will not float in a drink that has been spiked - as well as that it'll go cloudy. So if you're drinking, say vodka and lemonade, that's a clear drink and it'll go cloudy, sort of like cloudy lemonade. So avoid anything like that. And I know again, this is going to be extremely difficult. Smells and I know you don't really want to be smelling your drink when you're out, but we all know what vodka smells like. It's got that very acidy smell. if you smell your drink and it doesn't smell like vodka, don't drink it! At all times, never ever leave your drink just on the bar. Don't ever stop looking at it, if you're drinking out of a bottle - have your thumb over that bottle. "

There's likely to be a repeat of the boycott of pubs, bars and clubs, Sophie says: "Another protest is definitely going to take place. I'm lost for words - on how bizarre this injection epidemic is and how much it's already progressed. I'm seeing reports almost every other day now. I know women that have been spiked and without action, without people like me and Georgia - going forward in getting people together and showing the police how much this needs to start up, nothing will be done. So this will be the first of many many boycotts. Many protests and many movements to help this stop."

Georgia is also a student in Swansea and was on a night out with friends when her drink was spiked. She told us: " I was at a club on Wind St and with some of my uni friends and and I was drinking and I suddenly felt really, really drunk and then as time went on I started to, figure out within myself. I was like 'I don't think I'm drunk, I think something happened here.' I was blacking in and out. I say overall I remember about 20 minutes of two to three hours over the course of that night. I was having conversations with people. But then the next day they told me it wasn't them I was talking to, but a man. There's a certain alleyway on Wind Street that I used to get flashbacks when I just walked past it because it took my partner and my friend about half hour to 40 minutes to just get me through that alleyway to the taxi. My body was completely limp and I remember all of about four minutes of that. I remember I hit my head on the wall. I remember bashing my elbows and falling to the ground.

"Luckily I was with great people who made sure I was safe and got me home, but I still went through a horrible experience. I still really hurt myself and the thing about this is, is I'm an incredibly vigilant person. I never take my eyes off my drink. I never share drinks. If I go to the loo my drink is on the floor in front of me, while I'm on the loo. I'm so vigilant and the fact is it still happened to me. That's what's really scary. Then obviously there's new ways people are doing it now, so we have to do something about it because even if you are incredibly vigilant, it can still happen."

Georgia is extremely alarmed by the recent injecting incidents and has cancelled her Halloween plans this weekend: " I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only person, but there's a Halloween events over the weekend that we had tickets for. I've now sold the tickets because myself and my friends just don't feel comfortable going out. It's sad because we're back in that position of women having to stop going and doing the things that they want to do, for fear of their safety. And it's almost frustrating because you want to go and do it anyway. But then I'm sat here thinking is it really worth the risk for me to just go out tonight? So we're all having a little house party at mine instead. Purely because of that reason."
