Street harassment prevents individuals from feeling safe in their communities. Do you have a personal experience with street harassment in the DC area? We’d love to hear your story!
For Anti-Street Harassment Week (and beyond!), you can record a quick video sharing your experiences with street harassment in DC and post it on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtags #NopeDC and #EndSH. For tips on how to record these videos and sample scripts to get you started, click here.
If you’d prefer to write your story, you can use the form below (o en español).
Stories will be shared publicly on social media and on our My Streets, Too blog (with your initials, not your full name) to help to inform our policy and programmatic activities to keep our city safer for everyone.
In some cases, your experience with harassment may involve discrimination on the basis of one of the 19 protected traits for people that live, visit, or work in DC—such as gender identity or expression. If you’d like to file a human rights complaint, we can guide you through the process, just let us know.
If you need assistance in coping with street harassment, call the National Street Harassment hotline toll-free at (855) 897-5910 or visit the online hotline.
