* Stop Street Harassment is moving forward with the national street harassment study but we still need to raise a bit more money to cover the costs of producing the report. Please consider donating $10 or more to make this happen.

10 Tweets from the Week:
* @SouthLondonGirl: I’m one of three daughters, I can remember my mum getting tearful with rage about street harassment we suffered
* @missellabell: Nobody’s catcalling me because I’m beautiful or clever or charming. They’re catcalling me because I’m a woman, and I often look vulnerable.
* @hannahlouise_f: It’s hard enough trying to persuade most men that woman don’t enjoy catcalling without articles saying the opposite. V counterproductive.
* @jillaryclinton: contd: that we need justification by men. catcalling is not okay, sexualizing women and making us feel scared and uncomfortable is not okay
* @kay_fil: @lavidamorada @StopStHarassmnt apparently if you are a lady PERIOD that’s an invitation for street harassment… ugh
* @gracelarmstrong: I do not have to smile for you. Catcalls are not compliments. I don’t owe you my body by virtue of having one
* @SarbKaurM: Two incidents of #StreetHarassment in as many days. Not cool, Birmingham, not cool!!!
* @Trilla_Dilla: Street harassment is no joke. Shit is degrading and irritating.
* @GIRLEMPOWER: The soundtrack of my mind should amplify a beautiful string quartet. But instead #streetharassment has the Linkin Park lyrics set on repeat.
* @jamsberg_lilean: street harassment is the weirdest thing i cannot even begin to understand it
