After the mass sexual assault attacks on women protesters at Tahrir Square, anti-harassment activists have organized a day of outcry worldwide and invite people to gather outside Egyptian Embassies worldwide at 6 p.m. their time. Stop Street Harassment is a proud supporting group of this effort and stands in solidarity with everyone speaking out, marching, and demanding safe streets, a safe world, for women.
Learn more via their Facebook event page (on that page, you can find a list of participating countries & their event information).
“We, citizens of all nationalities all around the world, will not watch in silence the spreading epidemic of sexual terrorism. We want to show our support, solidarity and admiration for the assaulted who paid the price of the ongoing Egyptian revolution with their own flesh, and to the heroic volunteers who are risking their lives for a safe Tahrir.
Therefore on Tuesday February 12, 2013, at 6:00 pm local time, we will gather in front of the Egyptian embassy in our city/country.”
