Welcome

5-26-08: Visit my new website Stop Street Harassment and share your street harassment stories on my Stop Street Harassment blog!

I'm slowly updating the section on my master's thesis about street harassment. I've posted my:

• overview/intro
• chapter 1
• chapter 2
• part of chapter 3
• conclusion
• suggested strategies for combating street harassment
• on-the-spot tactics
• resources

My hope is to provide resources and strategies for those bothered by street harassment and help those who don't think it's a problem to understand that it is.
