Poster campaign takes on street harassment from Seattle to Mexico City [SeattleGlobalist.com]

Back in 2012, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh finally got fed up with being harassed by men when she walked down the streets in her neighborhood.

In response, the Brooklyn-based painter and illustrator began pasting a series of stark posters on walls in the area, featuring portraits of women with phrases meant provoke harassers to question their intentions.

With captions like “my outfit is not an invitation” and “I am not public space,” Fazlalizadeh hoped the so-called “Stop Telling Women to Smile” campaign would create dialogue in spaces, “where [women] are so often made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe.”

Now she’s taking her campaign international. First stop — Mexico City.
