XLR Collective's Hack a Heckle Lead Single
XLR Collective's Hack a Heckle have released their lead single called 'Hide'
"Hide is the debut release from Bristol (UK) based collective Hack A Heckle. A group of eight musicians, creatives and activitsts who have developed a nation social action campaign tackling gender harassment through the use of music, research and social media.
The project, in partnership with Bristol Zero Tolerance and Saffron Records, aims to create an open dialogue for people who have experienced gender based harassment, and help those affected to have the right knowledge and tools to stop this happening in the future.
90% of British women report their first experience with harassment before the age of 17*
This needs to end…. SEE IT. HEAR IT. STOP IT.
Please complete the short survey to help Hack A Heckle form relevant, up to date research, and begin helping young people to stand up against gender harassment.
