“Club 77”, a night club in Australia published a new and special order and announced that it will expel from the club people caught staring at someone without that person’s consent. The club’s decision comes as part of its updated “zero tolerance policy” on sexual harassment. The place posted the update on its Instagram account and wrote “Not a place to go if your only goal is to ‘hunt'”.
“As a nightclub, we encourage you to interact with strangers, however any engagement must begin with verbal consent,” the statement read. “This also applies if you, for example, are staring at someone from a distance.”

In order to implement the new policy, the club hired dedicated “safety officers” – who will wear a high-visibility pink vest – to handle complaints and concerns. “If we receive reports of any behavior that made someone feel uncomfortable, the reporting person will be removed from the scene and the police will be called,” the statement said.
