Jessica Frankovich wrote a great article about street harassment for GirlSpeak.org and in it she highlights this new awareness-raising project. Here’s an excerpt, but check out her whole piece!
“California teen Chloe Parker came up with an idea to help combat the problem of street harassment. On her Instagram, @rebel.grrrl, women from all over the world submit pictures of themselves holding up a piece of paper. The words a street harasser said to them are written on the paper. (Here’s your warning: they get pretty creepy.)
The project has helped Chloe, who was first street harassed at the age of 12, feel less alone. ‘I hope this will open people’s eyes to the trouble women so often face on a daily basis,’ she said.
You can submit your own #WhatMySHSaid to Chloe through Instagram direct message or by posting the picture on Instagram with the hashtag #WhatMySHSaid. She asks that you include your location (state, province, city, county or whatever else) and age, if possible, tag her in the photo you post, and let her know if you’d like to remain anonymous.”
