Take a Stand Against Street Harassment

The internet is no stranger to educating by shaming, and the new site Hollaback SoCal is no different. In this case, the goal is to combat sexual harassment. Here, people from all over Southern California can come and share their stories, to bring some awareness of how this behavior can make its victims feel and to try to persuade legislators to make a change so residents can walk the streets safely.

“We believe that everyone has the right to feel safe, confident, and sexy when they walk down the street,” the site’s about section tells us. “Your story will affect more than just you — it will impact media, legislation, and the community you live in. Together, we have the power to end street harassment, one Hollaback at a time.”

Go check it out and add your own stories. Not in SoCal? Look for your city in the site nav bar — you can even submit a request for your own city if yours is not yet listed.
