During the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence (Nov. 25 – Dec. 10), Stop Street Harassment is featuring activists who took action against street harassment this year, one new country per day.
Day #10: Pakistan
In Karachi, Pakistan, this spring, students at university SZABIST hosted a “How to respond to harassment” session, a self defense class in the spring, and they created a PSA about harassment.
One of the students wrote, “My class group members and I selected ‘harassment’ as a topic for our gender studies course. The reason we chose this topic was because it is a prevalent problem in Pakistan and almost everyone in the country encounters it on a daily basis. We wished to highlight the issue and create awareness.”
The Pakistani organization Gawaahi also addresses street harassment on their website.
