'Calling It Out' reinforces to students the vital message of non-tolerance of harmful sexual behaviour. The performance and discussion-based workshop explores where these behaviours are coming from and alternative positive behaviours. The programme raises the groups’ awareness of the huge impacts these everyday incidences of sexual harassment and assault can have on girls and young women and how we all have a role in safely challenging and reporting these behaviours.

The programme aims to raise the students’ awareness of what harmful sexual behaviour is and its many forms, where these behaviours are rooted and the impacts they have on those experiencing them. The programme is designed to challenge these negative attitudes and behaviours and promote equality and respect towards girls and women. We hope that the students will leave the session having learnt basic strategies to support them to safely call out and report incidences of sexual harassment and assault.
