She Was Walking Home is a series of monologues created from the testimonies of over 30 women living, working and studying in York.
This pack offers you a way to explore these experiences with groups of young people or adults to raise awareness of the how women feel when walking alone and what the impact of harassment or abuse might be.
The pack invites you to explore what we can all do to support women to feel safer when walking alone and to prevent gender-based violence.
They can be watched together and discussed afterwards (skip to end of the activity guide for a short activity to a suit single lesson or session length) or each film can be watched separately.
You can download the guide below, which will will take you through how to explore these with a group. The short films follow directly underneath.
