Poster Campaign – Alison Higgins

Throughout the month of August Know the Line hosted a poster campaign at tram stops in Sheffield to challenge people to know where the line is.

Alison Higgins is the Lead Manager on Domestic and Sexual Abuse for Sheffield City Council. Supporting the poster campaign she said: “People need to think about the issue and work out how they can stop sexual harassment at work and in public places.” Thank you for your continued support Alison.

Thanks to funding from the Lush Charity Post, Know the Line had posters at tram stops at: the University of Sheffield, Netherthorpe Road, Middlewood Road, Malin Bridge, Meadowhall and Cricket Inn Road.

The posters featured paired phrases of acceptable/unacceptable behaviours and aimed to challenge the sexual harassment of women and girls in our streets and public places and to encourage bystander intervention. The campaign hoped for the posters to spark conversations about knowing the line between acceptable respectful interactions, and unacceptable, intrusive and offensive behaviours.
