Electioneering!

As you may know, we have a national election coming up in about 2 weeks here in New Zealand and the press has been talking of nothing else!

Our sister organisation, the Wellington Young Feminists’ Collective has organised a candidates’ forum with a feminist flavour for the local wellington electorate candidates.

If you’d like to come along to hear about the various party policies on issues that matter to women and LGBTQ folk please join us tonight at the Wellington Central Library, Public meeting room 1 at 6pm. Koha for refreshments. We have some great questions lined up and look forward to having some healthy discussions!

Thanks for your Story

We think that sharing your experiences of street harassment is incredibly brave. You are awesome!

If your experience has made you feel unsafe or you wish to report it please don’t hesitate to contact the Police by phoning 111. The Police also have specific liason officers for the LGBT community, sex workers and ethnic communities so please do not hesitate to speak to one of those officers if you would feel more comfortable doing so (We can put you in touch if needbe).

If contacting the police is not an option, or if your experience has raised issues which you would like help with, you might find one of the other organisations who support Hollaback! helpful.

Due to legal restrictions we are unable to publish names or images of people involved in harassment as this can be considered defamation, and we also won’t include details such as race or class. Please keep this in mind when submitting your experience.
