Meet To Sleep : Dec 16th
Towards a future where women, girls and all persons live free from fear.
|
|
Action Sheroes i.e, citizens, you and me, confront fear and warnings surrounding sexual assault, by taking a nap in public parks across the country. We have the right to live free from fear, and defenceless.
I Never 'Ask For It'.
Unite in resistance.
#MeetToSleep
|
We sleep in memory of Nirbhaya.
We sleep remembering all those who said #MeToo
We sleep remembering what we know, and the stories that are yet to be told.
|
|
We sleep to create new narratives for our bodies, ourselves, and our public environments.
We, Meet To Sleep, to fight fear, we have long been taught to carry.
We, Meet to Sleep for the right to live defenceless. Trusting even.
We, Meet To Sleep, to create a new reality, through collective action.
We, Meet To Sleep because collective action is powerful and can create new collective memory.
Our bodies will, through new learnt experience, tell new stories ; located in belonging, connection, pride. Replacing fear, shame and violation.
We Meet To Sleep, to heal.
