The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.

In support of this initiative, under the leadership of the founder, Judy Langridge calls for action to increase awareness, galvanize advocacy efforts, and share knowledge and support.

15.01.2022 Destroyers, after our recent post about the sexual harassment of women in public places and the need for bystander intervention, we found news of an online publ...ic service ad in Japan created to encourage exactly that by framing harassment as the crime that it is. The #ActiveBystander ad focuses on a young man witnessing 6 common forms of public sexual harassment that Japanese women experience, but not doing anything about it. He sees upskirting on an escalator; a man deliberately slamming into women on the footpath; a woman being groped by a passing cyclist; a persistent pickup attempt; a drug dropped into a woman’s drink in a bar; and a sleazy boss hugging a woman employee and asking her inappropriate questions while out with coworkers. The same 6 scenes are then revisited, but this time the young man intervenes even in a small way and makes a difference. The PSA ad’s theme is, Turning away creates a society in which it’s easy for sexual violence to happen, and at the end the young man asks the viewer, What would you do if you were me?. The ad’s creators Shiori Onuki, a midwife / sex educator and a writer called Artesia report that women have responded overwhelmingly positively, saying they experience harassment daily. Men, on the other hand, are surprised this harassment happens so often. YouTube viewer Ringo says, I think that even I, a victim, was creating a society that is permissive of sex crimes. This video gives hope that the number of victims will fall as society treats these acts as crimes that even though they may be difficult to see do exist. Sadly, the PSA ad doesn’t air on Japanese broadcast tv because it wasn’t made by the Advertising Council Japan. You can watch the PSA here: https://savvytokyo.com/japanese-anti-sexual-violence-ad-ac/ Destroyers, what do you think of the ad? Would a similar idea work here? What scenarios should be included?
