Australian Nightclub Bans "Staring" Without Consent

An Australia nightclub is taking a stand against staring. They are saying they will kick out people who are caught staring at someone without the person's consent.

Club 77 in Sydney, Australia's posted their new "zero-tolerance policy" on harassment:

"As a nightclub, we encourage you to interact with strangers, however any engagement MUST begin with verbal consent. This also applies if you are, for example, staring at someone from afar. If the attention you are giving someone is unwanted, that is considered harassment."

The nightclub has hired "safety officers" to handle complaints.

"​If we receive reports of any behaviour that has made someone feel uncomfortable, the reported individual will be removed from the venue and the police will be called. 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."
