I was walking back from the gym and was nearly home. I walked past a man who then began to walk behind me, asking for my name and number, telling me how good I looked. I stopped after he had followed me for 10 metres or so and asked him to ‘please leave me alone … Continued
Was walking to the grocery store today, in the early afternoon, and a guy came on his bicycle behind me and slapped my ass. I was so furious I shouted “what the f” from the top of my lungs. It was so forceful I could still feel it a few hours afterwards. What on earth … Continued
A few years ago I decided to go to a popular festivity with friends, and as I walked through the crowd I was stalked and groped. I was so scared and feel so unprotected, I remember I wanted to cry in that moment. I want people to know that it’s not ok to grab someone … Continued
