One year on from Safe City Pledge, we celebrate, who, what, where is doing it right, to eradicate gender based violence . Because we need to make the good visible. In saying " I Never Ask For It " here's what we're also asking for. Small steps. Big change. 

Requirement :
> minimum commitment - 1 month
> role- research towards #DoingItRight
> tweeting on Mondays

Rewards:> Action Hero-ism unbound

Apply. Email blurtblanknoise@gmail.com Starting June 1st !
