Exclusive - Woman Walked For 10 Hours In NYC; Received Hundreds Of Harassment Threats!

The culture of rape has long been a difficult matter that every nation should address. Many cases of rape started just by girls walking on the sidewalk and being catcalled.

That alone is a form of demeaning harassment, making women feel uncomfortable and scared. This woman wanted to prove that that is really happening.

Shoshana Roberts, a 24-year old black-belter in taekwondo, walked around the streets of New York City, while being filmed by a hidden camera.

She walked around the city for 10 hours, minding her own business, but men from left, right, front and center were all calling on her.

"What's up beautiful?", "Nice!", "Hey baby!". When she ignores them, she is admonished ("Smile!", "You should say thank you more").

At one point a man walks alongside her in silence for over five minutes, despite her obvious discomfort.

In total she encounters over 100 comments in 10 hours - not including many more non-verbal signals like winks and whistles.

This video got more than hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. It was produced for Hollaback!, which campaigns against street harassment.

"This is a typical day in my life," says Roberts. "People need to be aware that this is going on."

The aim of the video is twofold, says Emily May, founder and executive director of Hollaback!.

It's intended to show victims of harassment that they aren't alone, and to demonstrate to those who have never experienced such treatment how intimidating it can be.
