There’s the girl with the new top or outfit for Eid. Happy and carefree. Then comes along a filthy animal who shatters her happiness with his disgusting catcalls.
There’s the pregnant woman, awaiting her first baby. Taking pictures of herself every month because she's thrilled with her changing body and growing belly.
She goes out to see her doctor, to see what her baby looks like now. She gets catcalled by another filthy animal. He comments on her pregnant body:
"Who did this to you?"
Or "You shameless..."
I'm not going to say that she'll hate the most beautiful moments of her life, but I'm sure she'll feel very different about them.
I've decided to avoid going out as much as possible and to only frequent indoor spaces.
Harassers don't just harm others. They don’t just make women hate the very act of going out. No, they also snatch and steal your happiest moments.
