Welcome to Day 2!
Here are photos from the week so far! Also, check out the 7 easy ways to respond to street harassers video our board members Erin McKelle and Manuel Abril created.
We had a Tweet Chat today at 11 a.m. ET led by Sayfty, with #EndSH, #SayftyChat. Read the recap (created by Sayfty).
Here is a sampling of the offline events that took place around the world:
- Bahamas: Hollaback! Bahamas partnered with the College of the Bahamas for a chalking event along a main walkway on campus. The chalking will span four days, with an all-school break with artists on hand to help with the chalking on April 14.
- Egypt: HarassMap did awareness-raising actions at Mansoura University in Mansoura governorate
- Guatemala: OCAC Guatemala launched a pilot street harassment mapping project, an interview with Congresswoman Sandra Moran, and a social media campaign.
- India: Safecity shared the following: After a series of discussions and campaign activities, seen here are Anjali and Sahil of Sanjay Camp who have come together with other girls and boys of their neighborhood to paint a mural on equal access to public spaces and opportunities. Girls spoke of their restricted choices and options when they step out of their houses and boys spoke of how that wasn’t a concern until they heard the girls talk about it. They are looking to change this together. This mural is part of their efforts for the ongoing International anti street harassment week, we are excited to see the mural they’ll end up painting!
- The Philippines: Game Changers, a group of Communication Research students from University of the Philippines (UP Diliman), supported the Safe Cities Metro Manila Programme in the celebration of International Anti-Street Harassment Week with their original Photowalk posters in universities. #EndSH #freefromfear.
