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.

 On the way home from dinner in Allston, waiting for the B line, my friend and I watched this guy grab a woman's arm who had just given him some change. She kept trying to walk away and he wouldn't let her go. Like her, we were a little unsure of how to handle the situation, but I hope she knows we took the picture because we had her back! She finally pulled away and hurried down a side street while he kept yelling "Hey!" after her. |
