A guy approached me as I was coming out of class. He asked me if I wanted to be a prostitute and commented on how hard I was making his dick. When I made the report, the police officer asked, “Have you never been hit on before?”
Optional: Do you have any suggestions for dealing with harassers and/or ending street harassment in general?
Always speak up. To the perpetrator, to the police, even against the police if you need to. Don’t let them silence you.
