This competition creates a safe, national platform for women and girls to share experiences of being unsafe, whether in public spaces, schools, online, workplaces, or within systems that silence and minimize. When one person speaks, another realizes she is not alone. And that is how change begins.
Your story does not have to involve physical harm to count. Feeling unsafe can include:
If it made you feel unsafe, your story belongs here.
