Please help: Stopping Street Harassment

[lashcampaign]

Hi All,

I'm new here so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place.

I am running a campaign called LASH (London Anti Street Harassment). It's aim is to make the sexual harassment of women in public places unacceptable - starting in London.

The campaign's enjoyed recent coverage in The Guardian, The Observer and on BBC radio.
We recently met with policy makers working on a certain mayoral candidates policy for London 2012. They want to inclde street harassment as an issue, but they needs stats.

We've therefore been asked to conduct a survey to fid out how common street harassment is in London, where it happens, what the police response is etc.

Please, please help by filling out this survey - it's just 9 questions. So far we've had 150 responses - we need to get to 1000 by the middle of the month! It would be great if you could get your teenage kids and partners to fill this out too - we need as diverse a response pool as possible, and would particularly like to highlight the fact that underage girls are subject to obscene comments and harassment on the streets of London.

The survey's located on our website, where you can also find out more information: www.lashcampaign.org

Thanks very much in advance. Feel free to contact me with queries.

Best,
Vicky Simister
