A young women’s initiative “Sot”, founded and implemented under the supervision of the Balasan Initiative for Human Rights.  

“Sot” (noise/voice) works to educate the community that harassment is not just inappropriate behavior, but rather a sexual crime that must be reported, condemned and sanctioned. The initiative seeks to empower young women and motivate them to be a strong voice that expresses their rights and dignity, and encourages them to report any case of harassment they have experienced or witnessed.

We support and push women to form strong support networks and to seek legal aid when needed.

Through this initiative, we aim to create a society based on equality and respect between the sexes, where everyone enjoys their rights and freedoms, including freedom from harassment.”
