Every day, women are harassed in the street simply for being women. In other words: Every time we step out the house, we run the risk of being shouted at, catcalled, or assaulted — usually in broad daylight. FUN!

Brooklyn-based artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh wanted to take women's voices and faces and plaster them big and bold in the very same places where this takes place. She's using street art to address gender-based street harassment by taking a place where women feel uncomfortable and turning it into a place where we cannot be ignored.
