“Because of this positivity, I experienced a feeling in the streets of Brussels that I’d never felt before, or if I have, it hasn’t been for any longer than a few minutes…I felt like myself. I felt like I could walk where I wanted, do what I wanted…I didn’t spare two seconds’ thought to what male passersby might do to me... It was, plain and simple, that hopefulness, that belief in the citizens of Brussels that we are mostly good, we are inherently good, and we just need a little nudge to show it….The streets belong to all of us… Even getting one person to think differently about street harassment, or making a victim’s day a little brighter–that’s still one person whose day you affected, and positively.” - Anna Claire Weber
