It’s here! It’s the first day of International Anti-Street Harassment Week and I hope you’re ready to share stories, speak out, and take action to bring attention to this human rights issue.
Here are a few of the events occurring during Day 1. If you’re in the area, the link has the location and other details, so feel free to join in!
* In Arizona, the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault will display youth-created art opposing street harassment and sexual violence in multiple library locations across the week.
* In Baltimore, MD, sidewalk chalking the city at 2 p.m.
* In Washington, DC, attending a screening and discussion of “Walking Home” at 11 a.m. and attending an art exhibit from 3-9 p.m.
* In Philadelphia, PA, attending a free self-defense class at 5 p.m.
There are several new online initiatives, too. For example:
* In the UK, there’s a new an online campaign focused on the slogan, “Flirting. Harassment. Real men Know The Difference.”
* In Malaysia, the Pixel Project launched a new section of their website about street harassment.
* In India, Breakthrough launches a bystander hero poster campaign.
* In the UK, Black Feminists published their first of 7 posts about street harassment
There will be more posts later in the day about other initiatives.
As the first day of the week begins, I want to quickly reflect on how the week came to be and thank those who made it possible:
After a great day of awareness on March 20, 2011, surveys and focus groups conducting in April led to the creation of International Anti-Street Harassment Week because people wanted more flexibility for when to hold their events.
As I have a full time job that is not focused on street harassment, this week of awareness would not be possible without a lot of help. Please see the list of names at the end of the about page for some of my main helpers. Numerous other friends offered advice on issues such as where to pitch the story, groups to reach out to, and ideas for activism. I am so grateful.
A global change requires a global effort, and that’s what’s happening. You’re part of it.
