    That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue that people are obviously paying attention to, vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.

      The three statues “visibly show the decades of assaults by passersby,” Terre des Femmes said.

      Good idea, fully support it

      this little bit is bad

      The three statues “visibly show the decades of assaults by passersby,” Terre des Femmes said.

      saying statues can get assaulted does more harm than good

      hope it’s a mistranslation
