I had to move because of street harassment. I am 46 year old female and single mother. I was asked if I was “working” (sex worker) when I walked to the store. I was followed, harassed, talked to with vulgar language, and insulted. It was so humiliating. A certain man constantly followed me and the police didn’t care. He followed me to my son’s bus stop ever morning.
Tell your sons not to degrade women this way.
I now live in a different neighborhood. Nobody does that here.
