I was with my mom walking away from Bourbon Street with my brother and sister. A man on a bike was looking at me and then he licked his lips and nodded. Afterward I told my mom what happened and from that day on I don’t like being in New Orleans. I just feel it’s a dangerous place. I felt that I was going to get raped or something. I was just really scared.
Do you have any suggestions for dealing with harassers and/or ending street harassment in general?
If someone talks to you just walk away. Don’t pay attention to any strangers who you walk by.
