      AidaYYC reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Thank you Thank you.
      The topic of sexual harrassment and violence on the Camino has been discussed many times, but it’s done in the context of a woman actually reporting on her experience. This is the first time I can remember having a mainstream press article as the...

      AidaYYC reacted to dick bird's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Like Like.
      This is a sensitive topic so we will discuss it without venturing into side issues (especially political ones). The camino should be safe, everywhere should be safe. Women alone should not be subjected to harassment or assault or made to feel...

      AidaYYC reacted to JustOneGuy's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Like Like.
      I do not know where you got these figures. This is what I read in the article "Women walking Camino de Santiago speak of ‘terrifying’ sexual harassment" 9 women interviewed. Possibly representative of a much larger number of harrassments on the...

      AidaYYC reacted to MikeJS's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Like Like.
      The article mentions 5 women in 5 years when around half a million pilgrims walk the caminos each year. I expect the statistics would be worse for any european city so why highlight the camino?

      I carried a lock because of recommendations for packing. Never used it once. One of the things I will not bring on my next Camino.

      AidaYYC reacted to David's post in the thread Locks and cables, recommended or not? with Like Like.
      We are a movable feast to predators and I find it amazing that there is so little theft on Camino and most of us rely on other pilgrims and the 'norm' of walking out of a refugio in the evening, leaving the pack there. A hiking trailer was...

      AidaYYC reacted to woody66's post in the thread Locks and cables, recommended or not? with Haha Haha.
      Never felt the need for any lock! All my valuables are in my shorts:); 7 pockets are enough for phone, passport, documents, cash and cards! Four are zippered and have a velcro tab also! I have said before on another post if i am walking in my...

      AidaYYC reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread Locks and cables, recommended or not? with Like Like.
      I use the existing backpack straps to secure my bag to the chair, table, luggage, rack, etc where I am located. It simply stops someone from accidentally or purposefully walking off with it. Sure they could undo or cut the straps, but in the...

      Was that the only backpack taken from that spot that day? It seems strange
    • AidaYYC
      I have done two long Caminos and I also practice this routine. That over the shoulder bag goes with me everywhere and knock on wood, it has served me well and I have not had the need for those locks. I do not know about anyone else and cannot...
