On the 25th of every month, the UNiTE Campaign hosts #OrangeDay to raise awareness about gender issues. Today, 25 October, focuses on “Safe and Empowering Public Spaces with and for Women and Girls.”
Stop Street Harassment held a chalk walk and flyering in New York City this afternoon for it, led by our co-social media manager Khiara. Thanks to her and to everyone who participated!
I’m visiting relatives on a farm in southern VA and wrote my own chalk message next to a road where I’ve been harassed while running during past visits.
I am so grateful the UN is bringing attention to this issue today to show it’s a serious global problem. And we at SSH are committed to speaking out about this problem today and every day.
