Dear Friend,

Next week is International Anti-Street Harassment Week 2021  (April 11th - April 17th).  During this week, we aim to raise awareness about how everyone can and should work together to end street harassment.

This year we have put together a week’s worth of actions for you to complete and share to help us mobilize against street harassment, simple actions that can take minutes and can have a big impact in raising awareness and showing support. To stay up to date on our latest daily actions, follow our social media platforms: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The core action we hope you and your loved ones take this year, is attending our public sessions of our training to Stand Up Against Street Harassment. This 1-hour training equips  you with our bystander methodology in the face of street harassment, and provides you with strategies to respond to street harassment when it happens to you. If you have already taken this training we hope you share this week’s sessions with others, and help us get close to our goal to train 40,000 people by the end of 2021. We are nearly halfway there, with 17,000 people trained as of today in this program, and everyday next week we will be offering a free public session. 

We’ve put together a post and caption you can share to invite your loved ones to take action and get trained alongside you:

At the heart of our mission is to live in a world without harassment, and this year we are proud to be part of a Global Coalition to End Street Harassment with organizations around the world, who also aim to end harassment. We also encourage you to follow the work of our partners next week, check them out: Cheer Up Luv (UK), Harassmap (Egypt), Safe & The City (UK & Germany), Stop Street Harassment (USA), Chalk Back (USA), Think Olga (Brazil), and SafeCity (India).

Your support for our work inspires us, and we are eager to see all the ways you will take action against harassment, next week and beyond.

With hope,

Hollaback!
