Mexican Women Fight Street Harassment with Songs and Confetti

January 28, 2016 By HKearl

I love these anti-street harassment fighters in Mexico!!

Mexico's Harassment Issue

“You talk to me as if you were going to rape me.”These Mexican women are fighting street harassers with confetti guns and punk rock.

Posted by AJ+ on Wednesday, January 27, 2016

Transcript in English:

Ana Káren: We’re walking down the street, when we are harassed…we run to that person’s car, we grab the confetti gun, we turn on the speakers and we sing, “Sexist Punk.”

Song: “What you just did to me is called harassment, if you do that to me, this is how I respond.”

Ana Beatriz: We have to respond, and if with that response we can encourage more women yo do it, that’s the ideal.

Ana Káren: We recommend you that it should be fun, so that you keep that sensation of violence that you just experience, and you can leave in peace and know that you can still have a great day.

Ana Beatriz: We definitely don’t believe that we are going to change the world. But we certainly know we have changed ours.
