Article Information
| Background | Hollaback! Ottawa produced a report based on an open forum we held and the results of a survey we conducted on levels and types of street harassment in Ottawa. |
| Reason | Metro is the primary newspaper for transit riders, so they have been following our work about harassment on public transit very closely. |
| Comment | It was great to see an article focusing on the survey results and in particular, low reporting rates. |
| Outcome | It's always great to get exposure for our work, particularly in a paper that is so widely read by commuters. |
