Violence Free Zone
Tuesday, 01 April, 2014
Anti-Street Harassment Week is March 30-April 5, 2014. Catcalls, sexually explicit comments, sexist remarks, groping, leering, stalking, public masturbation, and assault. Most women (more than 80% worldwide) and LGBQT folks will face gender-based street harassment at some point in their life. Street harassment limits people's mobility and access to public spaces. It is a form of gender violence and it's a human rights violation. It needs to stop.
To kick-off the week, the Jane Kopas Women's Center is hosting a Violence Free Zone workshop to discuss forms of gender violence, how to intervene, and resources.
Please RSVP by Tuesday, March 25, 2014 to justine.johnson@scranton.edu or 570-941-6194.
