Dear Community,
I invite you to join us for our 10th International Anti-Street Harassment Week, from 19 to 25 April. Groups and individuals all over the world will raise awareness about this human rights violation locally and globally.
Participate:
Participation in the Week is easy and it can be done virtually, particularly if your area is affected by COVID-19. Here are four easy ideas:
Go online to share stories and information about street harassment using the hashtag #StopStreetHarassment across the week, and especially on 21 April for our Global Day of Online Action.- Create a short video completing the phrase, ““If street harassment didn’t exist, I would….” and post it online, tagging @StopStHarassmnt.
- Use chalk outside your home or pen/paper to write anti-harassment messages, take photos of the messages and share the photos online, tagging @StopStHarassmnt.
- Take an online training about standing up to street harassers, produced by Hollaback! and L’Oreal Paris.
Overall, groups can decide for themselves what to do. If you need more ideas, here are 13 of them. Whatever action you choose will make a difference and it will help amplify the issue globally.
Let Us Know:
If you plan to participate, please complete this form or email StopStreetHarassment@Gmail.com with the information, and we will post it on our Events page. If you are at an organization/group, we also will list you as a Participating Co-Sponsor.
About:
The Week is organized by Stop Street Harassment in partnership with RedDot Foundation/Safecity and Catcalls of NYC. It is the 10th year of collective action that annually brings together groups in 30-40 countries worldwide.
We hope you can join us for this important week of action.
Thank you, and I wish you health and safety at this uncertain time of the COVD-19 virus pandemic.
