Women's Self Injury Helpline

From the website 


How we help with self injury
Self injury Support (formerly Bristol Crisis Service for Women) is a national organisation that supports girls and women affected by self-injury or self-harm.
We have carried out extensive research with women who self-injure, and through our work we have developed a deep understanding of the reasons individuals harm themselves and of the things they may find helpful or supportive.
We also have wide experience of the concerns and needs of workers in different settings and disciplines, and in developing good working practice.

Reporting harassment on public transport.

I saw a post on Facebook that asked about what to din a situation that involved a man on a bus staring 
lecherously at women. There were some of the responses.


You can text British Transport Police on 61016

 Ask  perpetrators  "Why?" (It's quite a powerful word as it requires them to consider or explain their actions. If they disagree, correct them and persist.) 

You OK, sis ? - which involves going up to a woman who is clearly being harassed and and asking her if she's OK, just to let her know she is supported
