Cultural/Context information for the jury

In France, 100% of women using public transportation have experienced sexual harassment or sexual assaults at least one time. This unacceptable situation is becoming a major societal topic. Marie Claire, one of the first and most engaged women magazines in France, wanted to be part of this fight and take action on 8 march for the International Women’s Day. Most communications target the victims or the aggressors - and forget those who can really make a change : witnesses. We chose a deliberately unsettling approach to denounce the impunity of harassers and commit citizens to act collectively against harassment in the public space. Marie Claire’s engagement went beyond the campaign with a special issue of the magazine dedicated to street harassment. Including concrete, illustrated advice on how to take action when witnessing such situations.
