United Against Harassment.

United Against Harassment was a collaboration project with international youth-led movement, Chalk Back, as part of the 2021 Women On Tap Festival. The project included live chalking events at three different Harrogate bars.

We invited people to share their own experiences of discrimination and harassment within hospitality settings with us via social media. Our team then chalked snippets from these sharings on the floors of public walkways and pavements to highlight the issues for all to see.

The responses came mostly from women and people from other minority groups. The results were shocking and often upsetting, and evidenced the need for a lot more work to make the hospitality industry a safe and welcoming place.
