Each day across the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, we will highlight a 2018 activism effort undertaken to stop street harassment or a personal story about stopping harassers!
Day #9: Retaliating against harassers in Pakistan
Two young women wearing hijab retaliated against two young men who were street harassing them at a busy market of Peshawar. In a viral video, the young women are seen angrily slapping the faces of the two young men as a crowd gathers. The men had harassed them previously and the young women were fed up! Eventually, the young men fled the scene.
