Apply to become part of the third 2017 SSH Blog Correspondents cohort from September to December 2017!
During these four months, correspondents must commit to writing one blog post per month about street harassment issues in their community, region or country. This means four posts total. The topics could include incidents of street harassment in the news, activism to stop it, interviews with activists, and street harassment in popular culture, traditions or the news.
We aim to have geographic diversity among our cohort members and people of all genders, ages, backgrounds and locations can apply. You do not have to apply in English (or write your blog posts in English) if another language is more comfortable for you.
Deadline is Aug. 30. Position begins Sept. 5, 2017.
This is an unpaid, volunteer position. Our blog receives around 30,000 unique visitors per month. The Facebook page, where many of your articles will be posted, has nearly 40,000 likes.
Erica Duffy says
I grew up in New York City, and now live in California, am 48 and have a few ideas on blog posts:
1.) How attending an all-girls boarding school left me unprepared for unwanted male attention/street harassment.
2.) Differences in street harassment in NYC vs. LA
3.) How Street Harassment has affected my life (anxiety, weight gain, distrust)
4.) Sexual harassment tolarance in the workplace: bad “jokes” are not acceptable.
