From April 8-14, Stop Street Harassment is organizing the eighth annual International Anti-Street Harassment Week.
Will you be joining us again this year? Please let us know so we can include you on future e-mails and list you as a co-sponsor on the website.
As a reminder, the Week is a chance for us to join together in solidarity and amplify each other’s voices so that the world listens, as well as to raise awareness in our local communities.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
-
- Tell Us What You’re Doing!
We want to know what you’re doing! Please either complete this form, or e-mail me, Holly, with info at StopStreetHarassment@Gmail.com. Thank you for your help. - Ideas for Action
Do you still need ideas for what you can do? Here are several. Also gain ideas from the 2017 wrap-up report or 2016 wrap-up report.We especially hope to see offline discussions involving diverse community members of all genders and backgrounds. It will take EVERYONE to truly create safer communities.
But at minimum, any individual can participate through simple acts like telling their street harassment story, writing chalk messages, and sharing information online.
- Tools
We have a selection of shareable images and downloadable fliers on our website and will be adding even more in the next two weeks. If you have ideas or want to offer translation help, please email StopStreetHarassment@Gmail.com. - Write a Blog Post
If you’d like to write a blog post for Stop Street Harassment (or have an entry cross-posted from your blog) that would be great! It can be for the week itself, or you can advertise what you’ll be doing for the week and why. Just reach out to Holly, StopStreetHarassment@Gmail.com, with a short pitch about what the blog would cover and the preferred date or time range you’d like it published. - Tweet Chats
April 10 will be our global tweetathon. Tweet about street harassment using #Endsh throughout the day (from whatever time zone you’re in, using whatever language/s you want). We are in the midst of scheduling the daily tweet chats — If you are planning to host one but haven’t been in touch yet, please reach out and I will add it to the official list.

Feel free to reach out anytime with questions, suggestions, or information!
Thank you for agreeing to Meet Us on the Street as we work to create safe public spaces for everyone!

I am not sure if someone noticed but in your Spanish logo “Las mujeres merecen ser seguro en todo el mundo” is not correct.
You are using the singular of”seguro” wich is masculine for “segura”. “Mujeres” is plural so the adjective should be plural too. In Spanish the verb “to be” has two forms ser or estar. In this case it should be estar or use the verb sentir.
Your sentence may look and sound better this way:
“Las mujeres merecen estar seguras en todo el mundo”
“Las mujeres de todo el mundo merecen estar seguras”
“Las mujeres de todo el mundo merecen sentirse seguras” this one would be my personal choice.
