STREET HARASSMENT STARTS YOUNG

A large figure dressed in orange with the phrase 'Talk about it' repeated multiple times in bold blue and black text, covering the entire body including the face. Other figures with similar slogans are visible in the background.

For far too long and for too many of us, enduring street harassment has been normalized as a regular part of existing in public spaces/on the streets.

We think it's high time to change that.

Because, we all deserve to feel safe in public spaces irrespective of our age, gender, sexuality, caste, ability, skin color, or economic background.

Because, the discomfort, fear, and/or aggression we experience on the streets is not normal.

FACED STREET HARASSMENT BEFORE?

About us

We are a movement united in our belief that street harassment should not have a place in our society.

We aim to empower allies against street harassment by providing knowledge, and evidence, and advocating for an intersectional feminist movement against street harassment in Bangalore and India. This is because we recognize that altering societal attitudes toward street harassment is necessary to bring about lasting change.
