to clear up the confusion about the breathing i’m not saying start panting like a dog, maybe just cough to let the girl know ur behind her so she doesn’t get spooked 🙂

• try to keep your face visible (unless you’re wearing a mask because of COVID) if you are walking past a woman at night. also if you are running at night, make sure to breathe heavy or make much more noise so she does not get spooked out when you run behind her and past her.

• if you hear a woman being bothered, walk over and support her. you could pretend to be a family member, a friend or perhaps even a boyfriend if a man is really bothering her and she seems distressed. it would be greatly appreciated.

• if you hear your friends or men around you speaking in a derogatory way about women or a particular woman, CALL THEM OUT! don’t let them get off lightly. do not stay silent. men should be educated, women should not have to be harassed

• if a woman is walking alone (particularly at night), leave space/distance between you and her or cross the road so she knows you are not following her. this will make her feel more at ease & feel like she’s not being pursued. don’t walk at her pace, cross over & overtake her.

• never ever victim blame a woman when she opens up about past experiences. even the smallest experience can be traumatic and last a lifetime. support her. do not say “what about men?” or “it’s not all men” because it is all women 👍🏻do not pass it off as nothing
