  1. There was a sexual assault of young woman in Seatoun last night. Please look out for one another x fb.me/1BrmSrf2o
  2. Made in honour of International Anti-Street Harassment Week: fb.me/19Xv3RhbY
  3. Good to see the trauma and fear many survivors face being discussed rather than victim blaming #streetharassment
  4. School student abducted and raped on her way home in Hamilton nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl…
  5. @CharHellbilly @mcquillanatorz sometimes I get sad about the world. Then I think: HOLLABACK!
  6. @blairensor @covlin @mcquillanatorz being 'warned' puts the onus on the victim to avoid those locations - that's not making it safer
  7. How about 'don't assault people' as a safety tip? I'm looking at you @nzstuff
  8. @Covlin @mcquillanatorz @blairensor reports that make it into the media however... that's a different story
  9. @Covlin @mcquillanatorz @blairensor Assault can happen anywhere, daytime or night. Saying one place is more dangerous than another is naive
  10. @mcquillanatorz @coleytangerina which is defs victim blaming: Remember ladies/lgbtq peeps don't get assaulted! It's your own responsibility
  11. @mcquillanatorz @coleytangerina I think it's basically asking how much you alter your behaviour to minimise the risk of sexual violence
  12. @mcquillanatorz @blairensor Lambton Quay doesn't have a rep because ppl don't percieve it as dodgy but just as much harrasment happens there
  13. @mcquillanatorz @blairensor Opera House Lane has a reputation because our culture likes to say: you shouldn't walk there alone, it's dodgy
  14. @mcquillanatorz @blairensor I wouldn't say one spot is more dangerous than others - harrassment and assault can happen anywhere
  15. Woman attacked in Opera House Lane on Sat morning stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/…
  16. Police searching for man involved in an indecent assault in Miramar last Thursday nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl… #streetharassment
  17. Again with the be vigilant, don't walk alone line - but she wasn't? Tho good to see patrols are going in #streetharassment
  18. TW nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl… Police looking for witnesses to violent assault on girl in Totara Park, Manukau #streetharassment
