Five years ago this week, I launched the Stop Street Harassment website and blog to fill a void I saw when two websites I studied for my master’s thesis on street harassment in 2007 were gone. Since then, I’ve written a book, have given more than 65 talks on the topic and written more than 25 articles, and SSH has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with several programs and projects, including the Correspondents program, International Anti-Street Harassment Week, and we’re fundraising to conduct a national study on street harassment.
To help fundraise for our programs, we’re holding an online auction for the next week. All proceeds will go directly to the SSH programs and to help fund a summer and then a fall intern.
Several generous groups and people donated items, including Girls for Gender Equity, artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, SSH board member Zabie Khorakiwala, marketer Kira Hug, professor and author Salamishah Tillet, editor and SSH board member Elizabeth Bolton, and award-winning authors Beckie Weinheimer and Moira Donohue.

Stop Street Harassment (SSH) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending gender-based street harassment worldwide. It was started as a website in 2008 and became incorporated as a 501(c)3 in 2012. * SSH is an international online resource center, providing comprehensive information about the topic and highlighting relevant news and activism occurring world-wide. Visitors can access lists of statistics, articles, films, and campaigns around street harassment as well as ideas for action to stop street harassment in their community. SSH also provides people with a place to share their stories. * SSH plans to undertake and produce research about street harassment, create curriculum for schools, and facilitate sensitivity trainings upon request. *SSH will organize awareness-raising efforts. International Anti-Street Harassment Week is already one of Stop Street Harassment’s campaigns. * SSH plans to host international conferences (both virtual and in-person) in the future. * SSH will also collaborate with policymakers, legislators, and like-minded organizations to create policies and laws that make public places safer.
