Street harassment role reversal in Lebanon

In Activist Interviews, street harassment | on 12.13.11 | by HKearl | Comments ( 1 )

Last week, as part of the Adventures of Salwa anti-sexual harassment campaign, two trucks drove the streets of Beirut, Lebanon, and on the loudspeakers, they played recordings of women’s voices, harassing passersby. They also played messages about how street harassment is not okay.

This video clip captures what happened and you can see/hear people’s reactions to the truck and the campaign. Most of the video clip is in French, but there is about a minute where one of the campaign organizers speaks about the initiative in English.

How do you think a similar initiative would be received in your community?
