Anyone like poetry? Venessa Marco, a slam poet, just wrote and performed this poem called “Patriarchy” that addresses street harassment at the 2014 Women of the World Poetry Slam. At this slam, 72 female poets from around the world compete for the honor of being the WoWPS champion.
“Although Marco didn’t nab the champion spot, her work still speaks very strongly of the constant sexual harassment and assault women from across the globe face…Work like Marco’s illuminates sexual harassment for what it is: a seemingly casual comment or touch that can be burned into a woman’s memory.”
