ABOUT HOLLABACK!
Hollaback!, founded in 2005 by seven young adults in New York City, is a movement to end street harassment using on-line technology, mobile devices, on-the-ground activism and organizing. With our headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, we are a global network of activists and leaders in the movement to end street harassment, based in over 60 cities, in 25 countries and in 10 different languages. Through an online platform and Apps on the IPhone and Android platforms, Hollaback! has provided a space for people who experience street harassment to share their stories and their responses to it from anywhere in the world. Each story that is shared on the blog is marked by a pink dot on the map. Hollaback! New York City will also soon release the first ever Smartphone App where individuals facing street harassment can report their stories to their respective council districts and representatives in real time, while simultaneously accessing resources for counseling and other services. The App is called “Hollaback!” and can be downloaded for free to your Smartphone.5
