On Wednesday 13th of October a woman was sexually assaulted on a transit train in Philadelphia US. A number of passengers reportedly looked on without doing anything to help, with some even recording the incident on their phones.
In this weeks episode of The Shushbox podcast we are joined by Gabriela Mejia, who is the Communications and Programs Manager at Hollaback to talk more about how to be an active bystander in scenarios like this.
Hollaback’s mission is to end harassment in all its forms by transforming the culture that perpetuates hate and harassment. They carry this mission by building the power of everyday people to create safe and welcoming environments for all.

We believe we all have a role to play in disrupting harassment and building a culture where it is no longer seen as “just the price you have to pay” for being a woman, LGBTQ+, a person of color, or any other marginalised identity. We teach people to take action, and to reach across their own identities to ally with others and establish a united front against harassment each time we witness it.
