Thank you @daughters.film for inviting me to talk at the Industry Mix & Mingle evening. It was a pleasure to dive in to the who’s and why’s and how’s with a panel of wonderful filmmakers and a lovely audience. @maelle.lgdr @celinesaintclare @phoebecampbellharris @missellabardot 📍@offthecuffse24

A couple of years ago, a group of us discussed our experiences of Public Sexual Harassment. We all knew it happened, and we knew it was wrong but we weren’t sure how to respond in the moment. We realised that much of the distress came from carrying the incident around afterwards, haunted by thoughts like “I should have said something” or “I should have done more” etc etc To explore further, we created a questionnaire and found that most participants would feel more comfortable reporting an incident online than confronting the harasser or a bystander. We’ve been socialised not to “make a fuss,” and while that mindset calls for change alone, we wanted to offer realistic, accessible & practical responses people can use now. Research from behavioural therapists informed us that writing down an incident can help restore a sense of control, transforming the memory from one of powerlessness to empowerment. It is never the victim’s responsibility to respond to PSH, but having a planned response can foster a sense of control. Writing down the details not only helps process and create space from the incident; but also gives you the choice what to do with that information on your own terms. We hope this video will reach those who need it.
