Don't Be A Creep and Shesaidso.London will be in conversation on Monday 26th April at 6pm on IGTV.

The figures for women experiencing
harassment on the street are high and over a quarter feel more unsafe
outside than they did before lockdown, according to Plan Interational UK. Its time to put the pressure on, raise the issues and for people to
be accountable for themselves first and others too. Ignorance is no
longer bliss, if you want to get involved, join the conversation or be
part of the initiative, tune in on IGTV Monday 26th April at 6pm on Shesaidso.London instagram!

Shesaid.so London and Don't Be A Creep are partnering for an IG Live on Monday 19th April at 6pm BST to chat about the subject of 'Tackling Harassment in the Nightlife Industry'. Shesaid.so is a global community of women and gender minorities in the music Industry with headquarters in London and LA and 18 other global chapters, read more about their Manifesto here. Don't Be A Creep is an initiative set up to spread awareness of a zero tolerance policy of abuse or harassment.
The two powerful forces are coming together to call people in, not out and talk about the important subject of harassment in the nightlife Industry and one which is very real. If you check out the Don't Be A Creep instagram you'll see some shocking stats (but not, at the same time) One is, 79% of women said they've experienced inappropriate comments, touching and behaviour when they went out time. Not cool at all, it'll be an interesting chat no doubt.
Who's in?
