College students at the University of Southern California put together a great video about street harassment, sharing why it’s a serious problem.
“It got to a point where I was active in my invisibility, I was active in creating my own invisibility and really adamant about being invisible to all men around me. I think that’s probably the most devastating thing about catcalling is that it affects every single part of your life even if it seems like it’s just a simple, fleeting moment. It affected my entire behavior of how I walked to school and how I dressed every day, so it’s a profound phenomenon and it’s not going anywhere until we address it.”
Female students shared stories about street harassment and the impact it has on their lives and male students talked about what their sisters have experienced and how their friends tried to pressure them into harassing girls.
Their conclusion? “We need to fight back and protest!”
