I’ve been street harassed lately. Some guys call me out as “Indian” “farmer” and “thug boy” only because I’m brunette. Women call me out as “looks like a child” “weirdo” and “autistic boy” because I avoid glancing other people in the streets. I feel demoralized and weak. I also feel more uncomfortable in the streets so I’d rather stay at home.
Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?
Posting ads in the buildings rooftops showing common slurs. That’d make people aware of this issue.
