“Verbal street harassment causes females to feel insecure in public places because we feel as if we can’t walk down the street, through the halls at school or around the mall without having men judge us and yell out inappropriate things to us. And it’s not OK. It’s rude, it’s disrespectful and degrading against females because it can remind us that we are just seen as sexual objects to males. And I think we should start paying more attention to this because it is important that we get the respect we deserve in the places that we feel like we should be safe.”
Jennifer Phan made this video about street harassment for a sociology class assignment. Way to go, Jennifer!
