"We heard of women being constantly stereotyped, demeaned, facing predatory behaviour," Butts told BBC sports editor Dan Roan. The report looked into recreational and professional cricket and the evidence gathered came from more than 4,000 respondents. "What we what we've seen is that women are vulnerable when around a drinking culture, they are subjected to sexual harassment, lots of sexting," Butts said.
"At the time I said it will probably take us five years to achieve that. And I think I think now we've probably got a bigger hill to climb based on what we've read in this report in terms of achieving that level.The report acknowledged that "the problems we identify are not, sadly, unique to cricket. In many instances they are indicative of equally deeply rooted societal problems".
