#DontCrossTheLine is a campaign targeting sexual harassment and misogynistic behaviours on nights out.

The campaign launched in 2023 during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign in bars, pubs and nightclubs as part of a tri-borough initiative in partnership with Hackney and Tower Hamlets Council. This was in response to reports from young people and night-time economy users that there had been a rise in misogynistic behaviours since the Covid-19 pandemic.

It uses stark, perpetrator targeted messaging that lists the types of behaviours that are not tolerated whilst also supporting victims and bystanders to report these crimes.

At the City of London Corporation, we aim to send a clear message to perpetrators of sexual offences that behaviours such as unwanted groping, grabbing and harassment are a crime and will not be tolerated.

We're encouraging businesses to show their support to the campaign, and display resources within their premises, to help tackle misogynistic behaviours and make the City of London a safe place for women and girls.

If you are a victim of crime, or have witnessed these behaviours, you can access support on the #DontCrossTheLine website.
