I’m on vacation without a laptop and trying to blog from a smart phone! So this will be short and light on embedded links.
ESPNW published an article today about street harassment and running and features some of my experiences (though a few facts were mixed up). It was in large part my harassment experiences while running that led me to start my activism work.
Harassment while running or exercising outside is sadly common, especially for women. When I surveyed over 800 women for my book, nearly one in four said they exercised at a gym instead of outside to avoid harassers on at least a monthly basis. This is not okay. We should have the right to exercise wherever we want without experiencing harassment!!
