Heal and Chill Foundation has plastered washrooms and spots of some nightlife and lifestyle hot spots in Accra for a campaign against sexual and gender-based abuse.
This comes as the foundation joins the world to mark April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Accordingly, Heal and Chill Foundation has partnered with Bloombar, Level Up, The Republic Bar, Zen Garden and Two Concept stores; Elle Lokko and The Shop Accra with the visual campaign to educate the general public on Sexual consent.
As issues of sexual and gender-based violence keep rising and affecting everyone, especially girls and Women, Heal and Chill foundation saw the need for this visual campaign to sensitise the public on the importance of basic consent to issues on sexual assault such as rape, catcalling and victim-blaming.
The visual campaign consists of witty, interesting, awareness stickers placed at strategic points of these companies that reminds people of Sexual Assault.
The founder, Christy Ukata, who is a media personality, took to her Instagram page to express gratitude to Level Up, Bloombar, Republic Bar, Zen Garden, Paloma Hotel, Elle Lokko and The Shop Accra for joining hands in educating the public who visited their premises.
She also mentioned how nice it was to see the owners of these places understand the need to educate the general public on SGBV.
Heal and Chill was founded on Sept 19, 2020, and it’s a community of survivors who want to help other survivors in taking steps towards healing while educating the general public on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.
They have in the past organised group therapy and Yoga meets for survivors in collaboration with Pippa’s Health Centre. See some of the stickers below placed at some spots of some nightlife and lifestyle joints across Accra for the campaign.
