Catcalling is not a compliment. It's harassment. Between 80 - 90% of women have been harassed in public. *

Groundswell and twenty young women fought back this summer with a 200-foot-long mural in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Now, we are thrilled to partner with THIRTEEN to tell their stories.

In Part 1, the first of three episodes, the young women share how street harassment has made the streets of New York City unsafe for them. 

It's made them want to isolate themselves... Fear for their safety... Cover up. Help us spread their message that a person's body is not public space.

Respect is the strongest compliment.

And look for Part 2 this week on THIRTEEN.
