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 #11: Turkey
During the spring, Hollaback Istanbul held a screening of Miss Representation and then a discussion about its connection to street harassment. They also held a screening of War Zone and had a social media campaign.
This year, they also launched the Hollaback! Green Dot Bystander Campaign and created a companion video with male allies letting harassed persons know they “have their back.”
Throughout the year they received great media coverage of their efforts to record people’s stories and speak out against street harassment, bringing more public awareness to the issue.
