International News: Australian nightclub implements new ‘staring’ without ‘verbal consent’ ban

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Club 77 in Sydney, Australia informed via its Instagram page that it was updating its “zero-tolerance policy” on harassment, NY Post reports.

The club said that “creating a safe space goes beyond implementing practices to deal with incidents after they have happened.”

“As a nightclub, we encourage you to interact with strangers, however, any engagement MUST begin with verbal consent. This also applies if you are, for example, staring at someone from afar,” it added.

“If we receive reports of any behavior that has made someone feel uncomfortable, the reported individual will be removed from the venue and the police will be called,” the statement said.

The club also said it encouraged feedback from club goers.
