WHAT YOU CAN DO
SHOW SOLIDARITY
Stand with the 25% of women who are routinely sexually harassed while out running by heading out yourself for 25 minutes and posting about your run on Instagram using #reclaimyourrun, tagging @womenshealthuk and @runnersworlduk. You can share your distance, your time, a gorgeous view or a sweaty selfie – anything that expresses your support.
MAKE CHANGE
Right now, public sexual harassment isn’t punishable by law. We believe, to make running – and, indeed, public spaces generally – safe for women, this needs to change. That’s why we’re backing the Crime Not Compliment campaign from Our Streets Now and Plan International UK, which aims to do just that. To add your name to the campaign, get details on how to email your MP and find out more, visit plan-uk.org/ crimenotcompliment.
