Foxstrut will see people will dress up as foxes to call for safer streets for women and LGBTQ+ peopleThat is the message Dorset photographer and activist Jayne Jackson wants to send with her Foxstrut event.
Taking place in Bournemouth on Friday evening, it will see people dress up as foxes and call for safer streets for women, girls and the LGBTQ+ community.She held the event for the first time last year, with people dressing up as foxes to represent the creatures' resilience and the ease with which it reclaims urban spaces.Jayne Jackson PhotographyShe said a campaign like that was not going to solve the problem of violence on the streets, but "we can control our reaction".
"Yes, it disproportionately affects women and the LGBTQIA+ community, because there is an enhanced level of threat towards us," she said.Local American football coach Matt Clarkson, who will be taking part in the event, said it was about raising awareness of the issue as well as telling those affected that he was "standing with them"."I think the importance of standing by women for men of all ages is critical.
