"Your Evening, Your Limits": campaign to go out safely in Mechelen
In Mechelen, 25 hospitality venues have launched a campaign called 'Your Evening, Your Boundaries' to combat inappropriate behavior. The initiative includes personalized posters and tips for staff on handling unwanted conduct. Customers are informed through coasters that they can seek help from staff. This campaign is part of a broader program called 'No Means No', following the 'Ask for Angela' safety initiative. Staff training is emphasized due to high turnover rates in the industry. The campaign aims to ensure a safe nightlife experience, with measures in place for reporting incidents. An evaluation will occur after six months to assess the program's effectiveness.
