Action Heroes!

http://actionheroes.blanknoise.org was created in March 2007 a year after the Blogathon. Women across the world have devised strategies of dealing with street sexual violence/ harassment and 'eve-teasing'. This blog collects a range of self defined 'Action Hero' moments actions from across the world.

Who is an Action Hero?

An Action Hero does not surrender to power on the street.

She's not one who's going to slip into saying 'it happens/ignore it'. Nor does she slip into thinking that she could have 'asked for it' by what she wore, or where she went, or what time of the day it was. An Action Hero doesn't anchor herself in self doubt, she knows it wasn't 'just an accident'.

Instead, an Action Hero confronts 'eve-teasing', street sexual harassment/ violence/ abuse through strategies that are unique to her and the experience.

You could also be the agent- the one who collects stories from your city/ neighbourhood/locality/ school/ college/ friends/family/ colleagues/. Ask the domestic help/ vegetable vendor/ flower seller/ woman bus conductor/ anyone!
This means that men are also invited to share stories of women whose response has amazed them! Go ahead... ask all the women you know!

Shout out loud! Tell us how and when you felt fearless.

You are an action hero not by the magnitude of what you did but how it made you feel. Write in. blurtblanknoise@gmail.com.

ps: You can also be an Action Hero by participating in our city specific street actions
