If you walk anywhere you know that lewd comments and actions from men is a gauntlet we oftentimes have to run. I've experienced this in Toronto, Winnipeg, Denver, Boulder, Buffalo and NYC. Every time I find myself thinking "ugh" and frequently hear myself reply "Does that ever get you a date?"
But in the end, it is harassment and my guest Emily May, Executive Director of Hollaback! has co-founded an organization to help put an end to this epidemic.
Join me to find out you aren't alone and what you can do!
Emily May, co-founder and Executive Director
Emily is an international leader in the anti-street-harassment movement. In 2005, at the age of 24, she co-founded Hollaback! (iHollaback.org) in New York City, and in 2010 she became the first full-time executive director. Hollaback!’s mission is to give women and LGBTQ folks an empowered response to street harassment, and ultimately, to end it.
