Street art from our sidewalk chalking in Dupont Circle in honor of International Anti-Street Harassment Week.

Location: N St SE
Time: Evening Rush Hour (3:30pm-7:30pm)

After reading a post on here about one girl’s street harassment for a week, I felt that it was only fitting to write about my experiences this week.

• Monday, Oct 28; walking down Half St SE & N St SE (in front of the Nationals stadium)
  Group of teens (several girls and one male) threaten to beat me, rob me, and rape me for half a block.

• Tuesday, Oct 29
  I didn’t leave my apartment. I was too sick. Both physically and mentally.

• Wednesday, Oct 30; crossing S. Capitol St SW to N St SE
  A guy leans too close into my face and mumbles something while grinning.

• Thursday, Oct 31
  Same cross walk, different direction a group of men are yelling cat calls and making demeaning remarks.
