Hollaback!Brussels has officially been “in business” for 2 months now and 82 stories have been published so far.
Time to get (even) more organized and shift this site into another gear. With “Voices of the Week”, we’ll be sharing stories, a collection of interesting news articles, blog posts, studies, opinions, events and tweets about street harassment, sexual violence or related issues from the past week(‘s). All beautifully mixed together in Dutch – French – English. If you read something interesting and think we should publish it, leave us a shout and we’ll have a look at it..
