ARE YOU AN ACTION HERO?


A Blank Noise Action Hero is someone who has dealt with street sexual
harassment by confronting and challenging it. Her final response might
have been to choose to ignore the harassment, but she will have chosen
to do so, not failed to notice it..

Different kinds of sexual violence/harassment take place on the street
- ranging from the hapless wooer to the aggressive sexual bully. Women
in public across the world have their own unique strategies and
capabilities of dealing with threat. This blog collects a range of
such empowered actions from across the world.

You could also be the agent- the one who collects stories from your
city/ neighbourhood/locality/ school/ college/ friends/family/
colleagues/. Ask the domestic help/ vegetable vendor/ flower seller/
woman bus conductor/ anyone!

This means that men are also invited to share stories of women whose
response has amazed them! Go ahead... ask all the women you know!
Share your story with us right here and we will publish it on the
blog.

Shout out loud! Tell us how and when you felt fearless.

You are an action hero not by the magnitude of what you did but how it
made you feel.


I've invited you to fill out the form " SUBMIT AN ACTION HERO STORY!
