Bold Protest: This woman posts selfies with her molesters on Instagram
Whatever some men think when they whistle after a woman or push her into a cheap bid? that somehow they would not be on the screen, bothered, downgraded, exposed and treated like a piece of meat. Or you know that and accept it? then the question is, what's worse ...
Selfies with the bully
Noa Jansma from the Netherlands did not want to be any longer. For a month, she took a selfie with every man who dumbfounded or called after her on the street - in short, sexually harassing her.
Nog een keer #dearcatcallers * psssssst, kissing sounds and whistling "

SZ.de said in an interview: "I want to make the viewer aware that it is never a compliment to call a woman on the street for personalities, and that no woman will take it that way."
The men do not check it - or they do not care ...
While Noa deliberately looks expressionless in the pictures herself - because she was made into an object by the men and objects have no feelings, as she says - the men look exuberant and happy. In fact, they do not seem to realize that they have come too close to Noa the moment before and treated them disrespectfully! Or do not you care ...?
#dearcatcallers "hmmmm you wanna kiss?"

Hmmm ... do you want to kiss me?
What is especially cool about the action: Noa just turns the tables with these photos: she is always in the foreground holding the phone. So she's the person in charge.
The men are just extras or, to put it more drastically, accessories. As a result, the roles are exactly the opposite of the harassment situation: on the selfies, the men become Noa's human object.
All the photos with the associated sayings, which Noa got to hear, are published on her Instagram account. Here is a selection.
