Many campuses took action today to speak out against street harassment, as part of International Anti-Street Harassment Week! Here are three of them —

Theresa Makwara reports: “Today Zimbabwe Parents of Handicapped Children Association took it to the streets against Street Harassment by distributing fliers in Harare! People were accepting the messages and some were encouraging us to carry on with the good work!”

 

Tomorrow is the final and biggest day of action for International Anti-Street Harassment Week! No matter where you are, I hope you can join us in taking back our streets and raising awareness in our communities that street harassment happens and it isn’t okay.

Here are the events happening worldwide.

Here are sample messages you can use for your signs, sidewalk chalk messages, and more, even if you are going out alone or with just one friend. You can also get ideas from viewing photos of what people have done so far this week.

If you can, take a photo of your action and send it to us!

Fernlily Healing Arts organized an awareness initiative at Pioneer Square in Portland, Oregon, today for International Anti-Street Harassment Week!

“The event was a success, the public was thoroughly engaged, and many women joined in and used the chalk to speak out against street harassment and sexual harassment. We also had many men who were curious…We will plan more art and movement activism events around Stopping Street Harassment Against Women. The more we stand up and make ourselves public, the more we can engage and educate the general public to help make changes towards eradicating sexually harassment against women.”
