Read an article about Holly's talk at Pacific Lutheran University in Feb. 2012

“During Holly Kearl’s talk at UC Irvine I learned that street harassment happens worldwide and is something that happens in every society. Most importantly, I now know different ways to approach someone that may be harassing me...By intervening it helps harassers understand that their behavior is unacceptable!”

- UC Irvine Student

"We thank you for the many stories and tips on handling Street Harassment. All of the women at the meeting were impressed with the presentation. Thank you for the time with us."
