A local nonprofit is celebrating InternationalWomensDay with an event aimed at creating safe spaces for both women and men at night.
"What it says is that organizations, businesses, the city -- we're making a commitment to ensure that women feel safe at night. So, it is a list of activities and initiatives that businesses can sign up to make their commitment, and visible commitment, to the city and to women here to say, 'We care about you,'" Brand said.Agree that women deserve to feel safe and comfortable everywhere at night.
Train our staff to believe any woman who claims to have been harassed verbally, physically, or sexually in our establishment and to record all such incidents. Participate in some women's-safety programs, like those offered by the Hospitality Coalition Against Domestic Violence or Ask for Angela.
