It Looks like We DON'T HAVE TO Passively Accept It ANYMORE!

It's time too . . .

Hollaback!

a movement dedicated to ending street harassment 

using mobile technology

By collecting women and LGBTQ folks’ stories and pictures in a safe and share-able way with our very own mobile phone applications, Hollaback! is creating a crowd-sourced initiative to end street harassment.

Hollaback! breaks the silence that has perpetuated sexual violence internationally, asserts that any and all gender-based violence is unacceptable, and creates a world where we have an option—and, more importantly—a response.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

We won't stop the problem of street harassment by asking women to cover up. As long as we cling to the lie that it is women's bodies that are the problem, it doesn't matter whether women wear burqas or bikinis in public –- we'll hold them accountable for what men to say them regardless of how much skin they're showing.

There's only one solution, and that's to start believing that all men (not just a few decent ones) have the power to control what they say and how they act.
