While I was working, my fiancée was on her way to the local parcel shop. At the bus stop an idiot harassed her from across the street. He shouted things like sexy etc. at her. She became very upset about the harassment and texted me. I could calm her down but later in the day when she was shopping another guy harassed her on the street! When I came home, she was very sad and felt insecure due to what happened. It made me very angry that such idiots are walking around and harassing women.
My fiancée did not want to post her experiences so I did it for her to show the world what scum is out there even in Islington, a district I love so much.
Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?
Harder laws against harassment. A strong shift in society to tackle sexism and pornography.
