Not Your Baby
“Supports users in “everyday” instances of sexual harassment at home, work, school, online and on the streets and public transit”
“Includes compendious information about legislation and links to community services that are relevant to victims of harassment”
Not Your Baby is a mobile app that raises awareness about sexual harassment and challenges users to develop a more complex understanding of its consequences. It is a co-creation between Take Action Games and the Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women (METRAC) and designed to provide users with ideas for how they can respond to situations of sexual harassment.
“Increases the public’s general awareness about sexual harassment at work and in public. Users can contribute their own responses to scenarios of public harassment, thereby helping to cultivate a community that is more creative, tactical and prepared to deal with it. ”
Users input information about a situation they may find themselves in, such as where they are and who is harassing them. The app generates a relevant response, which may help the user productively and safely navigate the situation if they are uncertain of how to react. Users can also contribute their own responses to scenarios of public harassment, thereby helping to cultivate a community that is more creative, tactical and prepared to deal with it. Similarly, users can choose to share personal stories and in doing so, open a space for the often hidden and marginalized experiences of people dealing with harassment.
