It's not unusual for a girl to hear Hey Shorty! on a daily basis as she walks down the hall or comes into the school yard followed by a sexual innuendo insult come - on or assault. But when teenagers are asked whether they experience this in their own lives most of them say it's not happening. Girls for Gender Equity a nonprofit organization based in New York City has developed a model for teens to teach one another about sexual harassment. How do you define it? How does it affect your self - esteem? What do you do in response? Why is it so normalized in schools and how can we as a society begin to address these causes? Geared toward students parents teachers policy makers and activists this book is an excellent model for building awareness and creating change in any community.
