- We’re organizing a “Self-defense class with tips on how to react to street harassment” together with Garance. The class will be held Saturday August, 25 in P.A.R.T.S, Brussels. More info soon! (Contact us if you would like to attend!)

- We’re meeting up with our partner/friends Outrage & Slutwalk Belgium to catch-up, exchange ideas and see what street action(s) we can organize together.

- Thursday July 26, at 8pm @ the Galeries Cinema: HB!BXL will participate in a debate about sexism in the streets of Brussels. The occasion for this debate is the première of the short documentary “Femme de la rue” (25 min), a personal view on the matter by director Sofie Peeters.
