Sexual Harassment Awareness Day - SHAD
Tell us your story anonymously and help us raise awareness
What? Sexual violence survivors outfit exhibition to reflect on victim-blaming culture
When? 21st April 2026 - 9am to 5:30pm
Where? UZH Lichthog Zentrum
We believe victims.
We challenge the questions.
We change the narrative.
What Were You Wearing?
Help us raise awareness and be part of meaningful change.
We are collecting photographs of actual/reconstructed outfits that individuals were wearing at the time they experienced violence. This project aims to challenge victim-blaming and prejudice by showing a simple truth: clothing is never the cause of violence. 💜
Submissions are completely anonymous
By sharing your story, you are helping foster awareness at UZH and contributing to a supportive community that values visibility, solidarity, and prevention.
Even if you do not have a story to share yourself, statistics show that many of us know someone who has experienced violence. Sharing this message with friends, classmates, or colleagues helps us reach the people who may need to see it!
Every voice, every story, and every share helps break the silence. Together we can challenge harmful narratives, support survivors, and create a community where no one feels alone.
