Communitywide read shines spotlight on street harassment of women

“Let women walk in peace.” “I am not here for you.” “My womanhood is not up for debate.” Author, street artist and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh made portraits of women, and transcribed what they would like to tell to those who have harassed them in public. Those were the responses from some of the women who were asked by author, street artist and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh what they wanted to say back to the men who had harassed them in public during their lives, said a co-chair of the countywide Sexual Assault Awareness Month Planning Committee. Their words emerged in interviews Fazlalizadeh conducted with women from diverse backgrounds and experiences about their encounters with street harassment — they can range from unwanted comments, to whistling, to stalking and sexual assault in the public sphere — for her book “Stop Telling Women to Smile.”
