The website also offers advice on how to safely respond to street harassment and how to intervene as a bystander if you witness street harassment.
The group emphasizes they are fighting street harassment against everyone, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning people.
“Public spaces are some of the biggest targets for people in terms of their vulnerability so certainly on public transportation we hear stories about people being harassed,” said Parker.
In January, Dredge helped create a Metro Vancouver website to share stories of sexual harassment on public transit and in April she supported a transit police initiative to crackdown on offenders.
Now she is urging everyone — victims and bystanders alike — to take action to stop street harassment.
