Street harassment is often overlooked here at Penn State, where the lure of a Nittany Lion football game–or even a typical Friday night–often leaves the streets amassed with partiers. Too often, Penn State students use alcohol as an excuse to say or shout crude comments to women on the street.
As part of this year’s International Anti-Street Harassment Week and Penn State’s Sexual Violence Awareness Week, student feminists invited their peers to share street harassment stories with the public. They shared the images in a Facebook album, which you can view here. Check out their stories below:
