To end street harassment, communities need to raise awareness and take action. Two current initiatives include:
CHALKBACK
An approach to raise awareness about street harassment: women around the world are chalking a catcall on the street where the catcall happened.
CASS (Collective Action for Safe Space), the city of Washington D.C.has developed a STOP campaign, identifying what witnesses of harassment can do.
Sidetrack--detract the perpetrator
Tell--text to report the incident
Observe--take notes and report
Postpone--after the incident, offer support
