Worthwhile Read: Unsafe and Harassed in Public Spaces

Yesterday, Stop Street Harassment published the largest survey on street harassment of US women. It’s certainly worth the read. The results are not surprising, but still vital to have documented: in public spaces almost 2/3rds of all women have been harassed; almost 1/4th have been sexually touched. 25% of men also reported experiencing street harassment, with a greater proportion of positive responses from LGBT-identified men.
