A safer way home
Made in collaboration with Ane Hartvig Axelsen, Cecilia Vising Schwartz & Peter Nolsøe HellesThe nighttime holds promises of excitement and community engagement. Yet, for minorities, women and queer individuals, the journey home after a night of joy often carries a weight of apprehension.
We introduce the concept of “A safer way home”. An initiative specifically designed to make the walk home from clubbing a safer experience for all, by shedding light on places that provide refuge and support. In collabiration with hotels, restaurants and stores open 24 hours. We aim to build a society where safety is a shared responsibility and discrimination has no place.
The inspiration for this initiative stemmed from a rapport, discrimination and cross-border behavior in the Copenhagen nightlife, that highlighted a significant need for enhanced knowledge on being a supportive bystander or ally. It was particularly noted that transition between locations or the journey home is where individuals feel the most vulnerable, especially among women and gender minorities.
