A nightclub in Australia has just announced customers caught staring at someone without that person’s consent would be removed from their permission
Club 77 , which is based in Sydney made the update to its policy to reinforce their stance on zero-tolerance of harassment in the club.
A report in the Irish Independent said “Outlining the change in a post to its Instagram page, the venue said its duty of care must go beyond implementing practices to deal with incidents after they have already happened.
“We also have an obligation to educate new club-goers and help them understand what is considered unacceptable behaviour inside the venue and on the dance floor,” the post read.
As a social venue, the club’s owners said they encourage interaction between strangers, but all and any engagement “must begin with verbal consent”.
“We do this to make everyone feel safe and to ensure our patrons are comfortable approaching staff if anything has made them uncomfortable or feel unsafe.“
