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.

| Walking down Beacon St. w/ friend and ice cream, enjoying our night, we pass this dude leaning against a car, watching us all - women - walk by. He leans over at me and says in this totally nasty way, "Oooh, that looks delicious!" We walked a few feet and I turned and yelled back, "Don't harass women on the street!!" - from Brookline |
 Holla back for someone else - the motherfuckers doing this late night construction whistled across the street at four young women half their age. Grow up, men children. I want to walk home in peace and these ladies deserve the same. I should have asked who they work for and called the boss. I'm sure they'd love to know the fellas yell at little girls on the job. - G.R. |
