Mr. Angel Colon shares that International Anti-Street Harassment Week will be commemorated from April 16-22, 2023. This initiative allows us to raise awareness about street harassment, why we shouldn’t accept it, and what we can do to help end it.
Students who are wondering how to can get involved during this week, can take advantage of ideas of actions they can take to be part of the movement to create a world free of harassment and filled with humanity.
