has been working with folks around the world to fight street harassment, and now we're taking it to the next level. The Ive got your back campaign provides real options to people who want to help end street harassment with a simple message: If you see someone being harassed, ask them if they are OK, and if there is anything you can do to help. We will get out this message through the use of simple, yet powerful tools: an interactive map, apps for iPhone and Android and a film. When were successful, well be providing real-time relief to people who are harassed around the world.
How it works:
It's incredibly powerful for someone who is being harassed to receive support from bystanders, but weve heard from folks that they dont always know what to say or do when they see it. Thats where this campaign comes in. We will empower bystanders who want to intervene by giving them a way to fight back and support victims of harassment. We will also celebrate these powerful displays of support by mapping their stories in green dots (in partnership with the Green Dot campaign). These green dots will be mapped alongside stories of harassment highlighting not only the problem. But also the solution.
But we wont stop there. Well develop new and improved Hollaback! iPhone and Droid apps, so bystanders can report their stories on the go too.
And if you cant be there in person to intervene, but you still want to show someone that youve got their back, well be creating a weve got your back button that you can click on just like you click on a facebook like button. At the end of the day the person who was harassed will get an email saying that hundreds of people have their back. And they will know they arent alone.
And we know we cant just tell people to have other peoples backs. We need to show them what it looks like... with a movie! Were partnering with Nancy Schwartzman, director of The Line, to create a short documentary that profiles a young man who tries to stand up for his friends when they are harassed. With this film, well create conversations about how to intervene, and do something in with our partners in BA, Mumbia, Atlanta and well develop interactive workshops to go with it.
What is Hollaback?
Hollaback! is a movement dedicated to ending street harassment and assault using mobile technology. Street harassment is one of the most pervasive forms of violence against women, and one of the least legislated against. Comments from "Youd look good on me" to groping, flashing or assault, are a daily, global reality for women and LGBTQ individuals. But, its rarely reported, its just culturally accepted as the price you pay.
The explosion of mobile technology has given us an unprecedented opportunity to end street harassment, and with it, the chance to take on one of the final new frontiers for womens human rights around the word. By collecting women and LGBTQ individuals accounts of harassment and pictures of their perpetrators in a safe and shareable way with our website, iPhone and Droid apps, Hollaback! is creating a crowd-sourced initiative to directly expose and confront street harassment. We aim to transform the discourse on street harassment and promote the attitude that any gender-based violence is unacceptable.

What have we done for you lately?
Since May 2010, Hollaback! has:
- Broken the silence: Launched a new website and released an iPhone and a Droid app (funded by Kickstarter!) that provide a real time respond to street harassment. The apps were the first of their kind - and resulted in over 200 press hits, including the New York Times, BBC, and Fast Company. Since the re-launch in November, we have had over 2,000 incidences of harassment reported and mapped to the site.
- Inspired international leadership: Recruited activists from 24 cities around the world who launched their own Hollaback! blogs on the iHollaback.org platform, creating a unified organizational hub. An additional 30 activists from around the world are interested in launching sites in our August 2011 class.
- Shifted public opinion: Since its official launch as a nonprofit in May 2010, Hollaback has received over 500 press hits and recruited over 18,500 Facebook fans and 2,600 Twitter followers. Executive director Emily May has spoken at Barnard, Manhattan College, and Duke, as well as at the National Sexual Assault Conference and TEDx. The ihollaback.org website has seen a 200% jump in site visits, which now total 1,500 unique hits per day.
- Winning International Campaigns. In March, our site leader in Buenos Aires was threatened by a prominent journalist and professor who said he wanted to break her asshole with his cock in an article written for a major magazine. In response, we started a Spanish-language petition to request a public apology and that he be fired. The petition was signed by 3,500 people from 75 countries and led both Fiat and Lacoste to withdraw advertising from the magazine. The journalist was ultimately fired, and the case is now being championed by a local regulatory human rights organization, who plans to use it as a precedent-setting case in Buenos Aires.
- Engaged Elected Officials: Hollaback! coordinated a critical mass and testified at the NYC Councils first-ever hearing on street harassment in October. As a result, the city is now interested in funding a two-year study on street harassment with Hollaback! as the lead, and Cornell as the research partner. Cornell University has offered Hollaback! $100,000 in pro-bono services, including a content analysis of data collected through the Hollaback! blog and mobile phone apps, and a review of formal and informal responses to street harassment in New York City. The study will be the first of its kind internationally.
This is a big project. Its a big vision. And we need your help to make sure that no one who is harassed ever feels alone. If we all have each others backs, then there will be no more room for the harassers and abusers of this world to make us feel helpless and alone. Lets protect each other. Care for each other. And make sure that no one ever has to Hollaback! alone.

Hollaback!/Atrvete! ha estado trabajando con muchas personas al rededor del mundo para combatir el acoso en las calles, y ahora estamos llevando eso al siguiente nivel. La campaa de Aqu estoy! les proporciona opciones reales a quienes quieren ayudar a terminar con el acoso en las calles con un mensaje simple: "Se ves a alguien siendo acosada, preguntale si est bien, y si hay algo que puedas hacer para ayudar." Vamos a proyectar este mensaje por medio del uso de herramientas simples y a la vez poderosas: un mapa interactivo, apps para iPhone y Droid y una pelcula. Cuando esto sea exitoso, estaremos proporcionando ayuda en tiempo real para las personas que son acosadas alrededor del mundo.
Cmo funciona?
Es impresionantemente poderoso para alguien que est siendo acosada o acosado el recibir apoyo de los testigos, pero hemos escuchado de algunas personas que no siempre saben que hacer o decir cuando ven que esto sucede. Ah es donde entra esta campaa. Empoderaremos a los testigos de acoso que quieren intervenir dndoles una manera de responder y apoyar a las vctimas de acoso. Tambin celebraremos y reconoceremos estas poderosas muestras de apoyo al mapear sus historias con puntos verdes (en alianza con the Green Dot campaign). Estos puntos verdes sern posicionados en el mapa junto a las historias de acoso-subrayando no solo el problema, pero tambin la solucin.
Pero esto no ser todo. Desarrollaremos nuevas y mejoradas apps de iPhone y Droid, con tal de que los testigos puedan reportar sus historias sobre la marcha.
Y si no puedes estar all en persona para participar, pero todava quieres demostrarle a alguien que la apoyas, crearemos un botn que diga "Aqu estoy!" en el que puedes hacer clic al igual que como lo haces en el botn me gusta de facebook. Al final del da la persona que fue acosada recibir un correo electrnico en donde se le informe los cientos de personas que la apoyan. As sabrn que no estn solas.
Sabemos que no podemos slo decirle a la gente. Tenemos que demostrar lo que se siente ... con una pelcula! Nos estamos asociando con Nancy Schwartzman, directora de La Lnea, para crear un documental de corto metraje que perfile la vida de un hombre joven que trata de defender a sus amigos cuando estn siendo acosado(a)s. Con sta pelcula, crearemos intercambios sobre la forma de intervenir y de hacer algo, con nuestra(o)s socia(o)s de BA, Mumbia, Atlanta - tambin desarrollaremos talleres interactivos para ir con la pelcula.
Qu es Hollaback?
Hollaback! es un movimiento dedicado a poner fin al acoso en las calles utilizando la tecnologa mvil. El acoso callejero es una de las formas ms generalizadas de violencia contra las mujeres, y uno de los menos legislados. Comentarios desde "Te veras muy bien encima mo "hasta agresiones fsicas, es parte de una realidad cotidiana y global para las mujeres y las personas de la comunidad LGBT. Sin embargo, rara vez se denuncia, generalmente se toma y se acepta como cultural y como el precio a pagar.
Qu es lo que hemos logrado hasta ahora?
Desde Mayo del 2010 Hollaback!/ Atrvete! ha:
- Roto el silencio: Se ha lanzado un nuevo sitio y una aplicacin para iPhone y Droid (patrocinadas por Kickstarter!) las cuales proporcionan una respuesta de tiempo real al acoso en las calles. Estas apps fueron las primeras de su tipo- y resultaron en ms de 200 menciones en la prensa, incluyendo el New York Times, BBC y Fast Company. Desde su re-lanzamiento en Noviembre, se han reportado y mapeado ms de 2,000 casos de acoso en el sitio.
- Inspirado liderazgos internacionales: Se han reclutado activistas de 24 ciudades alrededor del mundo quienes lanzaron sus propios sitios de Hollaback!/Atrvete! en la plataforma de ihollaback.org, creando una red unificada de la organizacin. 30 activistas ms de diferentes partes del mundo estn interesadas o interesados en lanzar sitios en el grupo de Agosto de 2011.
- Modificado la opinin pblica: Desde su lanzamiento oficial como organizacin no lucrativa, Hollaback! ha recibido ms de 500 menciones en la prensa y obtenido ms de 2,600 fans en Facebook y 2,600 seguidor@s en Twitter. La Directora Ejecutiva Emily May ha dado plticas en Barnard, Manhattan College y TEDx. El sitio web de iHollaback.org ha visto un aumento del 200% en visitas, lo que ahora suma 1,500 visitas nicas por da.
- Ganado campaas internacionales: En Marzo, nuestra lider de sitio en Buenos Aires fue amenazada por un periodista y profesor destacado quien dijo que le quera "romper el culo a pijazos" en un artculo escrito para una revista importante. En respuesta a eso, comenzamos una peticin en espaol para pedir una disculpa pblica y su despido. La peticin fue firmada por 3,500 personas de 75 pases diferentes y logramos que tanto Lacoste como Fiat decidieran retirar su publicidad de tal revista. El periodista fue despedido finalmente, y el caso est ahora siendo manejado por la organizacin local de derechos humanos, la cual planea utilizar el caso como uno que siente precedente en Buenos Aires.
- Involucrado a lderes polticos electos: Hollaback! coordin una masa crtica y testific en la primera audiencia sobre acoso en las calles de el consejo de la ciudad de Nueva York en Octubre. Como resultado, la ciudad est ahora interesada en financiar un estudio de dos aos sobre el acoso en las calles con el liderazgo de Hollaback!, y la universidad de Cornell como socios de investigacin. La universidad de Cornell le ha ofrecido a Hollaback! $100,000 dlares en servicios pro-bono, incluyendo anlisis de contenido de los datos recabados dentro del blog de Hollaback! y las aplicaciones mviles, y una evaluacin de las respuestas formales e informales ante el acoso en las calles de Nueva York. Este estudio ser el primero de su tipo a nivel mundial.
Este es un proyecto grande. Es una visin grande. Y necesitamos tu ayuda para asegurarnos de que ninguna persona que sea acosada se vuelva a sentir sola. Si nos apoyamos mutuamente, entonces no habr espacio para que los abusadores en este mundo nos hagan sentir indefensas o solos. Protejmonos mutuamente, cuidmonos. Y aseguremos que nadie se tenga que volver a "atrever" sola o solo!
