Do you feel passionately about ending street harassment and do you like to write? We need YOU!
Stop Street Harassment is one of the top street harassment websites in the world and we’re recruiting new members for our first Blog Correspondents Program cohort of 2015. This is an unpaid, volunteer opportunity. Build your resume and add your voice to the global conversation about this important topic!
Your words will be read: the SSH blog receives up to 30,000 unique readers per month.
Assignment:
From September to December 2015, correspondents in our third cohort must commit to writing one blog post per month about street harassment issues in their community, region or country, for four posts total. The topics could include incidents of street harassment covered in the news, activism to stop it, interviews with street harassment activists, and street harassment in popular culture, traditions or the news. You can also write pieces that tie street harassment to relevant related issues (such as racial profiling/racism, online harassment, and campus rape).
We aim to have geographic diversity among our cohort members. People of all genders, ages, regions are welcome to apply.
Applying:
If you would like to join our final Blog Correspondents cohort of the year, please complete this short application form by August 20. Applicants will be notified by August 22 and the selected cohort will be announced by the end of August.
Note: If you prefer to write in a language other than English, please also indicate what language is most comfortable for you and you can send your writing sample in that language.
Please apply and/or share with others who may be a good fit!
