What people say about us
'What touched me the most was a moment when a heterosexual couple approached us, and the man said, 'I think I’m finally starting to understand how you feel.
I had some interesting conversations with loads of people and also gathered new insights about street harassment. The team was really kind and I felt comfortable 🙂
"I spoke with a bus driver and explained that we often use a bus as an example of where the 'delegate' technique can be applied. He mentioned that part of their training includes being very attentive to passengers and any unusual behaviour.. He shared that he has stopped the bus multiple times to intervene, sometimes after others pointed something out to him.
I look back on it very positively. It was sometimes quite heavy, as people were clearly affected by the experience, which also had an impact on me. But it was also wonderful to see how open they were: most of them were very talkative and eager to engage in the conversation on this topic."
