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 January to April 2016, correspondents in our first cohort of 2016 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 January 6 and the selected cohort will be announced on January 11.
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!

Hello,
Thank you for considering me. I currently write for Huffington Post India and am very pasisonate about women’s/girls rights in India and the world. If selected as a blog corespondent for Stop Street Harassment, I would write for issues that primarily stem due to harassment-campus rape, profiling, etc. I am a survivor of assault & child abuse so I am very familiar and have a personal vested interest in eliminating this nuisance.
Thank you for your time,
Rupande Mehta
