The workshop “Object to harassment in public places” are organised as a part of campaign run by  L’Oreal Paris and Right To Be organisation. It’s an international campaign to raise awareness of what sexual harassment is. One of its elements is to provide practical knowledge for all the interested people in Poland on simple methods of responding to such situations.

According to Ipsos’ research for L’Oreal (2023) as many as 77% of women in Poland have experienced harassment in public places and as many as 85% of women in the under-35-year-old group. The research has shown barely half of the respondents declare they would react to harassment in public space.
