Stop Street Harassment

Excellent site, and it might answer a few questions. It does cover the 'calling the cops' question, provides statistics and information. There is A part called 'male allies' that I especially like.

This reinforces what 1StrongBlackMan said in the other thread about harassment.

Stats(they may come as a surprise to some)

Stop Sexual Hassassment
Catcalls, sexually explicit comments, sexist remarks, groping, leering, stalking, public masturbation, and assault. Most women (more than 80% worldwide) and LGBQT folks will face gender-based street harassment at some point in their life. Street harassment limits people's mobility and access to public spaces. It is a form of gender violence and it's a human rights violation. It needs to stop.
