I like surprises — especially feminist surprises. While organizing my computer recently, I stumbled across an infographic I made for the 2012 Penn State Women’s Studies Graduate Organization Conference to educate others about street harassment — what it is, why it’s wrong, and how to respond to it. Check it out below, and feel free to share on social media to alert others to this global human rights problem!
I think it’s pretty effective, but perhaps not so much as the bold, simple graphics my twin sister and I made for 2013’s International Anti-Street Harassment Week. Admittedly, I spotted some slight typos in this one (oops!) but I was excited to find this anti-street harassment gem lurking in my computer’s dusty college files.
