We all deserve a safe place to live — but many of us can’t pick up groceries, take the train, or walk around our neighborhoods without the fear of street harassment. This panel conversation, facilitated by Stop AAPI Hate, delves into the common problem of street harassment, and how it is experienced by women, girls, people of color, and members of the queer and disabled communities. As Pride Month came to a close, we explored the following questions:
What does street harassment look like — and who does it affect?
What would a safer, more accessible environment look like for vulnerable communities, including LGBTQ+ communities?
How can different communities who are experiencing harassment join forces to address street harassment?
