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 | The Ottawa Sun has been following our work since our inception, so they picked up our press release in relation to the survey. |
| Comment | It was great to see the journalist preempting the skepticism around our survey methodology. |
| Outcome | The Ottawa Sun is notoriously a right-wing paper, so it's always encouraging to see progressive coverage of sexual violence issues. In this case, to talk about the impacts of street harassment on women in Ottawa is a huge victory for us. |
