[Reader-list] Blank Noise presents....

[Jasmeen P]

Hello!


To recognize Women's Day, and as part of an effort to build a core
constituency that is aware of the Blank Noise
Project<http://www.blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com>,
we're organizing
a blogathon for Tuesday, the 7th of March. Blank Noise is asking other
bloggers to post about their experiences of sexual harassment /'eve
teasing'- as a victim, perpetrator or bystander - at work, at home or
in the public sphere. On International Women's Day, which is March 8th,
it would be exciting to see the theme of harassment become audible on
the Indian blogosphere.


If you will participate, email blurtblanknoise at gmail.com to let us know
- then on March 7th, we'll link to all the participating bloggers from
the Blank Noise homepage, and hopefully it will be an archive that will
help us understand and stay angry about harassment. For the time being,
it would be great if participants posted on their blogs in
anticipation, to spread the word. Spread the word in other ways, too.

BNP's target audience isn't really only the blogging community, but
this will be a good step, whether effective or symbolic, towards
interventions closer to the street.

Thanking you,

Jasmeen

The Blank Noise Team
