Research

At Our Streets Now, we centre survivor experiences and evidence-based analysis to challenge public sexual harassment (PSH) to inform preventative approaches.

We research to…

Elevate lived experiences and lived realities of survivors through an intersectional lens with a focus on highlighting the experience of young people, Black Women, Women of Colour, Disabled Women and Trans & Non-Binary folks, whose stories are too often erased.

Show that PSH is not isolated but part of a continuum of gender-based violence.

Provide clear insight that PSH is rooted in systems of power not just individual actions and intersects with racism, Islamophobia, homophobia and ableism.
