Voices of the Week (25/06 – 02/07)

Published on July 3,2012 at 11:05 pm in Voices of the Week, no comments

Hollaback!Brussels has officially been “in business” for 2 months now and 82 stories have been published so far.

Time to get (even) more organized and shift this site into another gear. With “Voices of the Week”, we’ll be sharing stories, a collection of interesting news articles, blog posts, studies, opinions, events and tweets about street harassment, sexual violence or related issues from the past week(‘s). All beautifully mixed together in Dutch – French – English. If you read something interesting and think we should publish it, leave us a shout and we’ll have a look at it..

The Stories – De Verhalen – Les Histoires:

Julie: “Bedankt onbekende, ik heb nu een voortdurende schrik als iemand achter mij staat.”

Lene: “..heb geen 100m kunnen afleggen zonder achtervolgd te worden door degoutante opmerkingen en obscene gebaren.”

Typh.: “…on me dit que c’est de ma faute, que c’est parce que je suis blonde.”

Anonymous: “He asked, “Is everything alright here?” and we told him that no, it wasn’t, and that this guy was following us.”

Eva: “Ik wil niet elke dag hopen dat het regent en bliksemt zodat ik ongestoord naar het station kan wandelen.”
