Girls and women across the United States and around the world are harassed and assaulted by strangers simply for being female in public spaces. To better conceptualize how widespread this problem is, I'm working on an interactive map that pinpoints the locations of different incidents of harassment and assault. Click on the pushpins to read the stories.

You may need to zoom out on the map and/or click on the "View Larger Map" link to properly see the stories. The map and stories look best in Internet Explorer.

Keep refreshing the browser if the pushpins don't show up - I promise they eventually will show up!!
