To date, there is no nationally representative survey to document the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and other forms of abuse across all the places it occurs in the U.S., including public spaces, schools, campuses, workplaces, places of worship and private homes. There’s no better time than now to collect these data to back-up the outpouring of personal #MeToo stories.

We are partnering with Raliance, which works on sexual violence issues (it is a coalition comprised of National Alliance to End Sexual Violence (NAESV), the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), and California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA)/PreventConnect), and survey firm GfK to conduct this timely survey.

We are *so close* to having enough funds raised, thanks to our generous #GivingTuesday donors, Raliance and Pinpoint Foundation. We just need to raise about $3,300 more!! Will you help?

You can donate directly to Razoo (tax-deductible) or we also now have an Etsy store with various items for sale — and 100% of the proceeds will help fund the survey!

Please help us out today.

Royal Taxi and Limo Services: They are located literally five houses away from where I live and men stand outside with their taxis (3-4) and harass young girls and comment on their bodies. They catcall etc, and when asked they told me (an excuse )—that it’s “good manners.” They admitted that they say beautiful and good night to every woman who passes by. Even after complaining to them, they didn’t change.

When i told them to stop they didn’t. I see them everyday and can’t look them in their eyes since some of them look like the age of my grandparents. They don’t understand how hard it is to walk by them in order to get to my destination. One guy even commented about my butt to his friends and they both started looking at me and winked. They really don’t appreciate women and their safety. If you are a woman, BOYCOTT this place.

Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?

Teach: It’s okay to speak back and not to be afraid.
