@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @MyrianCastello @_anushka_m @SayItForwardNow @polycomdev @MaziOhaJekwu @maitreemuz @jeevika_shiv @PranayManjari A4. My university was located at a secluded place and a lot of people faced harassment while coming there. The entire student community came 2gethr and staged a protest for 1.5 days to ensure secure means of transportation for all of us + keeping police in loop. #AntiSHWeek2024

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @MyrianCastello @SayItForwardNow @polycomdev @MaziOhaJekwu @maitreemuz @jeevika_shiv @PranayManjari A4. We can only build truly safe and inclusive environments in these spaces when ALL of us are represented at tables where decisions that affect us are being taken. #Safecity #AntiSHWeek2024

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @_anushka_m @SayItForwardNow @polycomdev @MaziOhaJekwu @maitreemuz @jeevika_shiv @PranayManjari Communities can inspire change by ensuring that businesses and public institutions actively contribute to creating environments that discourage street harassment. Through training programs, clear policies, and reporting mechanisms, businesses can empower employees and customers…

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @_anushka_m @SayItForwardNow @polycomdev @MaziOhaJekwu @maitreemuz @jeevika_shiv @PranayManjari to stand against harassment and create a culture of peace and respect. By collaborating with local authorities and promoting positive social norms, businesses and institutions can play a pivotal role in creating safer, more respectful and peaceful communities for all.

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @_anushka_m @BhavreenMK @ConsortiumCbo @Sushmita4Rights @90Reeti @BembalaS @polycomdev A5 as well as …training peer educators from within these communities, can enhance understanding and engagement. Establishing feedback mechanisms for ongoing communication and input ensures that initiatives remain responsive to the needs and concerns of marginalized communities.

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @MyrianCastello @_anushka_m @BhavreenMK @ConsortiumCbo @Sushmita4Rights @90Reeti @BembalaS @polycomdev A5. Some ways that I can think of - 1) community drives and talks; 2) honest + open conversations with students of schools and colleges; 3) advocacy by youth + political leaders

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @_anushka_m @BhavreenMK @ConsortiumCbo @Sushmita4Rights @90Reeti @BembalaS @polycomdev A5 Crowdsourcing, community engagement, products develoment, meetings and workshops, developing culturally relevant materials, and forming partnerships with local organizations and leaders can make a change. Making educational materials accessible in various formats and languages

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @MyrianCastello @_anushka_m @BhavreenMK @ConsortiumCbo @Sushmita4Rights @90Reeti @BembalaS @polycomdev A5 Strategies such as tailored outreach, collaborative partnerships, culturally relevant content, community empowerment, and safe dialogue spaces can be considered. #AntiSHWeek2024 #Safecity #RedDotFoundation

@TheSafecityApp @elsamariedsilva @supreetksingh @MyrianCastello @_anushka_m @BhavreenMK @ConsortiumCbo @Sushmita4Rights @90Reeti @BembalaS @polycomdev A5 Combatting street harassment in marginalized communities is a holistic approach.

By knowing our rights and the laws related to harassment, fostering a culture of respect and empathy, and building support networks within communities we can address and end GBV, and walk home without fear.
