Campaign: To encourage victims of sexual harassment to come forward

It shouldn’t be normal for someone to be saying derogatory things to you or someone to be touching you in places you don’t want to be touched.

 

Unfortunately this kind of thing is happening, but people need to speak out.

 

It makes you feel so small and so intimidated in an environment that should be safe and where you should be having fun.

 

Our Fixer project is highlighting the concerns of being on a night out and hearing derogatory terms or getting comments that make you feel uncomfortable.

 

It shouldn't happen and we hope our project will encourage victims to speak out.

Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:

 

Orla Stanton

Ciaran Hall

Paddy Breadon

Christopher NI Brown

Steven Henry

Anna Cameron

Grainne Manson

Dr Mark Rodgers
