PREAMBLE | OUR BELIEFS | OUR INTENTIONS | OUR PROCESS   PREAMBLE BECAUSE women are terrorized daily in public spaces, our personal space violated by men who block our paths, stand too close, use a too intimate and insulting language toward us... BECAUSE this behavior is implicitly menacing and threatening and often becomes overtly threatening when a woman expresses her anger at these affronts... BECAUSE the line between verbal harassment and physical menacing is often crossed... BECAUSE on June 11, 2000, hundreds of men assaulted, stripped and fondled over 56 women in the public space of Central Park and the rage of women in the city exploded... The Street Harassment Project was (re)initiated on June 15, 2000 and has been meeting weekly ever since. Our Beliefs >>
