…but people are too scared or ashamed to say anything…” said Charlie Lieu regarding sexual assault in the climbing and outdoor communities. Sexual assault is far too common in a community that is near and dear to all of our hearts. #SafeOutside, a new grassroots initiative aimed at combating sexual assault in the climbing and outdoor communities, created a survey in which over 5,000 people across 3 countries (USA, Mexico and Australia) participated. Of these participants, a whopping 31.2% claimed to have experienced some form of sexual harassment while enjoying climbing / the outdoors, a place that is supposed to be safe for all. Of that 31.2%, 47.3% were female and 15.6% were male, proving that this just isn’t a “women’s problem…this is a problem of all people,” says Dr. Callie Rennison. Experiencing sexual harassment while doing something that you love will inevitably change the way you climb or enjoy the outdoors. Usually, as stated in the article (link in profile), this leads to people isolating themselves. As a victim of sexual harassment from members in our community, I can say this in indeed true, at least for me. “They expressed hesitation to speak up, out of fear for retaliation, but also because their concerns were often downplayed or dismissed.” Listen to your friends, keep an eye out, and don’t be afraid to speak up to protect yourself and others. Our community deserves it. But most of all we each, individually, deserve to be heard. Lets stop this, for you, for me, for us.
