A Brooklyn Artist Explores The Different Ways Women Are Harassed On The Street

Many women walking down the street are exposed to various types of harassment from catcalling to physical violence. In New York City, local anti-street harassment groups have seen an increase from women reporting unwanted attention.

Brooklyn artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh's new book Stop Telling Women to Smile looks at how people from diverse communities and backgrounds experience street harassment differently.

She told WNYC's Jami Floyd, "It's important to address how certain identities that people hold really affect just how they are able to live their lives moving throughout the world."
