[Trigger Warning: Mentions of sexual harassment, rape and child abuse]
Lella Miskir is tired of the constant harassment she and other women in Ethiopia experience on the daily. In response, Lella now walks through the streets of Addis Ababa, armed – with a small, red whistle. Her online campaign, #MyWhistleMyVoice, encourages women to blow their whistle every time a man catcalls them, acts inappropriately towards them or assaults them. It’s giving women confidence and hope, but blowing the whistle on men’s bad behaviour has been met with backlash and even threats to Lella’s life.
