@ibvmngo @UN_Water It is important that we have access to this basic need. The fact is that there are many illness spreads because of lack of sanitation. We need to give awareness to children especially on the consequences of not using of toilet.

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep Thank you very much for this platform to express a very sensitive topics. I appreciate your effort. Congratulations

Suvh topics should discussed with young people. Many may be victim but afraid to voice...

[Red Dot Foundation - Safecity @TheSafecityApp]

Wow, what a great conversation so far!

Our final question together:

Question 5: How can we as youth be the change everyday in every way?

What can young people do to help end street harassment?

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep Learn defense machanisim which always comes to handy. Write or complain to local minicipality to light up street..take such topics for panel discussion and debate..

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep Youth can make lot of change. As Gandiji says You be the change. When any youth see such things happenimg on the streets should be able to stsnd up, to voice for the voiceless

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep Also there are many boys are aimless, school dropouts. Jobless so they get into bad company and time pass and imdulge in such activities

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep I have girls roaming with blade, needle. Spray and chilli poweder to protect themselves from such harressement

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep When once Ghandiji was asked whats freedom he replied when women can walk on the street without fear the country has freedom...

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep Girls need to learn Marshal art or kareta which will give them presence of mind to respond to such a situation. It will break thtough their fear

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

@pinthecreep We need to talk openly in the schools and colleges so the youth can express what thry are going through

[Red Dot Foundation - Safecity @TheSafecityApp]

Angsträume: anxiety or fear due to poor lighting. Adequate lighting is so important in ensuring people are safe and feel confident.

@pinthecreep we need train the young people with life skills which will enable them to have resilience

[Nirmala @nirmalaibvm]

Its interesting why specifically youth go through street harressement. Young, may not be ready fight back or take action

[Red Dot Foundation - Safecity @TheSafecityApp]

Thank you all for sharing your perspectives.

Now, focusing more specifically on youth!

Questions 3: What are some of the main reasons why young people suffer harassment or engage in street harassment?
