Anonymous’s Story: First experience with street harassment at 15
Hi,
I read about this movement in HT a few days ago and I thought I would share my story as well.
This happened when I was 15 years old. I was riding my cycle to school in Sector 35 from my home and these two boys on a bike started following me. It was the first time that I had encountered something like this and I was very scared. They started driving their bike very slow and kept driving right next to me. I got so nervous that I lost my balance and fell. I didn’t get hurt physically but emotionally, it was very scarring. I kept trying to think of what I had done wrong. Now, this has happened so many times that I have just stopped reacting. I’m really happy that movements like this have started to help us and I feel really relieved to share my story.

Sorry to hear about what happened. Those people are going to have an accident one day for not forcusing on the road – not only is it wrong what they do to you but they are a danger to other road and pavement users.
