Dear Friends,
Already two women have been killed by street harassers this year. I am furious.
I routinely receive stories to the Stop Street Harassment blog from teenage girls, usually saying grown men harassed them. I am outraged.
I still face street harassment myself on occasion, including on my wedding day. It’s upsetting and humiliating.
Nearly 10 years after I began writing my master’s thesis on this topic, I am still angry and I am still organizing.
If you want to take action, I invite you to join our 6th annual Meet Us On The Street: International Anti-Street Harassment Week of action, April 10-16, 2016.
Take whatever action you want and, collectively, help us make the world take notice of this issue!
** Does your organization want to co-sponsor the week in 2016 (requirements: advertise the week to your networks and participate)? Contact me at HKearl@stopstreetharassment.org.
Do you know what you’re going to do for the week? Submit your event details using this form. **
In solidarity,
Holly
