Goal of the Activity

This proposal aims to bring students together to create awareness for gender-based violence and remove the stigma around reporting incidents.

Description

We aim to take the impactful concept inspired by initiatives such as @catcallsofnyc and @empowerhervoicedublin and transform it into a powerful form of visual storytelling through art. By bringing individuals together, we envision the creation of a large, unified art piece that unifies the diverse stories of multiple people who have experienced gender-based violence. We would also include simple statements in support of the movement, similar to the one presented in image 2. We want to invite everyone to voice their opinion and thoughts on how we can support victims of gender-based violence as well as promote preventive measures to reduce the number of incidents which occur in the future. Similar to what @catcallsofnyc and @empowerhervoicedublin do, we will also incorporate the location mentioned by the people who submit stories and hang them up in front of said establishments or around the college campus.
