International Anti-Street Harassment Week 2013 Report

Page 131

Reston, Virginia As the founder of International Anti-Street Harassment Week, I raised awareness online throughout every day and helped lead activities in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, M.D. On the last morning of the week, I also went to a few spots near my home where I’ve been harassed to reclaim them. Almost no one was out yet, but one woman saw me write my first message. She asked me what I was doing. After I told her, she shared some of her stories and thanked me for bringing attention to the issue. It didn’t rain for several days so many people saw the messages.
