97% of women in Bristol have experienced sexual harassment.

 

When we interviewed Bristol’s men, almost half couldn’t articulate what sexual harassment is.

So if you’re thinking...

It’s OK

 

  • It’s just a bit of banter

  • You saw what she was wearing

  • It’s just a bit of flirting

  • She’s playing hard to get

Let’s be clear.

Any of these behaviours could be sexual harassment.

If it’s Unwanted

 
 

What is Bristol doing?

  • We’re training night time economy businesses: We’re aiming to train 1000 people in nightlife to identify and put a stop to all kinds of harassment of women.

  • We’re inviting you to call it out: We all have a part to play in protecting women in our city. Be an active bystander and if it’s unwanted, tell them it’s not OK.

  • We’re asking men to consider ‘Am I being a Creep?’ - a poster campaign throughout our night time venues will invite you to look at your behaviour and question. Is it unwanted? Is it OK?

Join us at the Bristol Nights’ Shine A Light Parade on 24th of March from 6:30pm, when Bristol will come together to send a zero tolerance message around the harassment of women.

The parade is a showcase of unity and celebration, and will be led by incredible representatives from our night-time economy brandishing torches and wearing rainbow lights.

Our final stop will be Lloyd’s Amphitheatre, where you can expect to see performances, poems and stories from speakers and artists; each with a powerful message to send to the city.
