iHollaback Shames Street Harassers with Cellphone Pics
Published on December 3,2011 at 6:11 pm in news, no comments
Back in the day, the best defense a woman had against street harassment was her own mouth. She could scream, curse, or if things got serious, blow on that retro symbol of female empowerment: the rape whistle. Even if her screams caused her harasser to run away, he would still get off scot-free.
Enter iHollaback!, a movement, a blog, and now an iPhone app that not only fights street harassment on the spot, but crowdsources an indelible “Holla Shame” on the Internet.
