Street harassment is a global problem! To document street harassment – and the activism underway to address it – around the world, Stop Street Harassment is ready to select our next cohort of Blog Correspondents.
Assignment:
SSH plans to hire 10-15 correspondents from around the world to write monthly articles (between 500-800 words) about street harassment in their region for the second cohort of our correspondents program.
The term for this cohort will run from July to December 2013, and the correspondents will be expected to write six articles, total, one per month.
Correspondents will be paid $25 per article in a lump sum after the completion of the final article in December 2013.
Correspondents can write their articles in languages other than English.
Topics for the articles may include:
* Street harassment-related events and activism in your community. [Example | Example]
* Interviews with local anti-street harassment activists and community leaders. [Example]
* A discussion of a unique or unusual form of street harassment in your community or country. [Example]
