FORM NYC
Core Programmatic Offerings
The FORM NYC Stop Street Harassment Campaign is a powerful initiative driven by the founder's unique writing and poetic ability. Through the art of Haikus, this campaign aims to combat street harassment in NYC by spreading awareness and fostering change.
These Haikus are transformed into stickers, magnets, and store decals, serving as community reminders to all, especially men, that street harassment is not only illegal in NYC but also menacing to women and dangerous to our youth. It challenges the antiquated practice of street harassment and calls for its end.
By blending art and activism, FORM NYC encourages the community to stand together against street harassment, making the streets of Brooklyn safer and more respectful for everyone. These Haikus are a creative and thought-provoking way to raise awareness and promote positive change in our city.
