An interactive dress has revealed the extent to which women are harassed in nightclubs.

In an experiment carried out in Brazil, three women wore dresses with sensors fitted to them, to detect how many times they were touched or groped in a nightclub. Their interactions were tracked using WiFi.

The results found that each woman was touched around 40 times an hour.

How surprising are the findings?

Karl Deeter and Claire Grady discussed this and some of the other stories making the news this week in The Week Trending.
