Women tell HuffPost UK they're still experiencing street harassment during the rare times they do leave the house.
Journalist Micha Frazer-Carroll, 25, based in Hackney, London, has endured this and says it’s “especially jarring” in the current climate, considering going outside can“I spend a lot of my day alone, and when I do go outside, I’m already on red alert about the danger of germs,” she tells HuffPost UK. “Throw being heckled, catcalled or followed by men into the mix, and it makes me feel that bit more scared about going outside at all.
“Usually I do everything I can to blend in and not be noticed,” she says. “But since I’m the only one running, I get the usual range of comments: ‘smile love’, ‘no make up today’, ‘beautiful runner!’ It’s all pretty meaningless, but being the only one on the street means the vibe has changed.”Giblin, who’s a backpack designer, has spent the last 42 days alone in her studio flat, which makes harassment even harder to deal with.

Women Are Keeping America RunningAs is news to no one, the wage gap is historically fucked. Women’s work is and has been undervalued and under-compensated for far too long, and despite calls to right this wrong, little has been done to address the issue. Of course, this is deeply rooted in the sexism and misogyny which capitalism thrives off of (not to mention the racism and classism inherent in pay discrepancy), which has attempted to codify the work women do as being less valuable than that of a man. However, according to a report from The New York Times, women are the people currently keeping the United States running, and not only that, they are on the front lines.\n
