Woo!! The Daily Show‘s Jessica Williams did another spot-on segment about street harassment last night (here was her first one from last month). She demonstrates how her walk to work is different from that of her male colleagues because she has to try to dodge harassers, often going out of her way to avoid spots with known congregations of them. Then she brings together a group of women from across the city — including women from Girls for Gender Equity and HollaBack! and @FeministaJones who started the #YouOkSis? hashtag — to share their stories and talk about how it makes me feel.
I am SO happy The Daily Show is continuing to put the spotlight on this really important topic AND that they connected this issue to women’s equality and safety concerns, which is important.
Jessica Williams really does a perfect job.
