We work with musicians, comedians, performers, promoters, crew, staff, venues, security and gig goers to eliminate sexual violence -- an on-going issue in Ireland and is seen as a 'normal' part of our nightlife - ask any woman you know and she'll tell you about a time she was sexually harassed at a bar. Sexual assault and harassment extends beyond gig goers - those who work in nightlife are also subjected to it. A European study in 2018 found that 56% of nightlife participants had experienced some form of sexual violence in a nightlife setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611eb590bcba2468201357d2/1631663854956-M67WT0IFUY79270YWGSM/SLC%2Blgbtq.jpg What/When/Where https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611eb590bcba2468201357d2/514fa2b0-7f12-46b0-8f6e-f160143e6624/Screenshot+2026-03-12+at+21.27.44.png What/When/Where - The Windseller at City Lore, 2025. photo by David Freeman The Windseller at City Lore, 2025 We presented "The Windseller" at City Lore, in NYC.
