Last month our national Neighbourhood Watch launched an \u201cAre you OK?\u201d campaign against street harassment. Although street harassment is unlikely to be common in Wenvoe we may see it elsewhere. It is usually directed towards women, girls, and gender-diverse people.<\/p>\n Street harassment is on the rise and is often not an isolated incident. We know the long-term impact can harm mental health and change people\u2019s behaviour. Victims often feel guilty, ashamed and blame themselves.<\/p>\n Witnessing street harassment and not safely intervening sends the message to those experiencing it that it\u2019s okay and society normalises it.<\/p>\n The campaign encourages those who see someone being harassed in public to ask the victim \u201cAre you OK?\u201d when they feel safe doing so. Those three little words let the victim know they have support and street harassment is never okay.<\/p>\n Alan French<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH Last month our national Neighbourhood Watch launched an \u201cAre you OK?\u201d campaign against street harassment.
