Street harassment is a serious and multi-faceted social problem that makes women and people of other marginalized groups unsafe in public spaces. HollaBackBoston does not define street harassment but believes harmful power dynamics in society lie at the core of our inequality. We believe that building a safe world demands diverse international fronts of resistance. Dedicated to the city of Boston, we continue to reclaim public space by empowering everyone to “HOLLA BACK” at street harassers.
You can holla back in the moment in a way that is fast and easy. Use your phonecams or digital cameras to DOCUMENT STREET HARASSERS. Add hollabackboston@gmail.com directly to your cellphone. Email us the pics with your story. We accept submissions from anywhere!

| So going to the mall the other day, I walk past these guys on the way in and they mutter something at me as I walk by. And you know, its not like the worst thing ever, but it still fucking sucks. Hollas come in all shapes and sizes, even the kind you can't even understand. - Gina |
