How to stay safe while on holiday

This summer tens of thousands of young Brits will fly out to destinations like Corfu, Ibiza, Rhodes and Mallorca, for sun, sea, sand and - as the cliché goes - sex. But this year the British Foreign Office is launching a campaign to try and ensure that holiday-makers, and young women in particular, stay safe and avoid sexual assault on holiday. According to government statistics, British women are most likely to be raped in Spain or Greece than any other country in the world. Jenni hears from some young British women on holiday in Laganas on the the Greek island of Zakynthos.  She talks to the Foreign Office minister Chris Bryant about how to get the message across to young Brits abroad. They are joined by Luke Gaskins from 2wentys holidays the youth brand for First Choice and to Detective Constable Caroline Knight from Devon and Cornwall police about the realities of dealing with rape and sexual assault abroad.
