Making it Safe: Inspiring Strategies against Sexual Harassment

As women, we can come together to inspire and develop personal strategies against sexual harassment. 

By sharing our lived experiences, we can discover and adopt and adapt more strategies for making places and relationships safe for ourselves and others. 

The workshop is for 90 minutes from 4pm - 5.30pm (GMT+8, Kuala Lumpur) and it covers two themes: 

• Theme 1: Knowing when you're not safe
• Theme 2: Behaviours and actions

The workshop is highly participatory and will give you:

• The ability to spot and name the harassment when it occurs
• Ideas for actions that have worked to keep other women safe from harassment
• A "fire drill" so you're better prepared to respond to harassment when it happens, and won't be frozen from shock, fear or surprise

This workshop will be facilitated by Jacqueline Ann Surin. She is an expert facilitator who has worked with and trained several women’s groups in Malaysia and the region. She is the developer of Making it Safe: Inspiring Strategies against Sexual Harassment, How to be an Ally and How to Say 'No': Strategies for Establishing Boundaries. She is currently KL Swing!'s Safe Spaces Consultant.
