As a few others have already stated, I think it would be ideal to have
an overall alias for this, with possible additional aliases
@women.debian.org.

I would hate for someone to not report harassment occurring because
they felt that a contact address was inappropriate for the type of
harassment that they received (or perhaps had the appearance of
associated with the agent of harassment.[1])

Furthermore, I think a @debian.org alias sends a message that
harassment is something that the entire project finds objectionable,
whereas one at a subdomain indicates that only that subset may find it
objectionable.
