The actress Shoshana B. Roberts is walking in silence on a two-minute video along Manhattan. She wore a black t-shirt and some jeans with a hidden camera. Probably she want to denounce the women situation who are harassed frequently walking by the street.
When she ignored their comments, she was answered with rude or unfriendly comments.
Some insisted to talk her and other followed her and it is something that got nervous and uncomfortable.
This video was produced by charitable organization Hollaback which is dedicated to street harassment. it took 10 hours to produce it.
The organization claims that women, blacks, gays, lesbians and transsexual people are susceptible of street harassment, so these people are most vulnerable to suffer agressions.
I am harassed when I smile and when I don't. I am harassed by white and black men and latin men too. There is not one day when I am not going through this. She added.
Now, she is receiving threats to be raped.

At the beginning I used present tense because I was thinking about the time when you are watching the video. That's right in Spanish, is it right in English?
ReplyDeleteInteresting structure "while walking" = mientras caminaba/andando.
what do you think? while walking = upon walking=when walking?
If you said "She WEARS a black t-shirt..." then "Probably she wantS to denounce..." would be OK.
ReplyDelete"While walking" and "when walking" are the same here, but "upon walking" doesn't really work because it is more of an event than a continuous process. Example: While reading that book, I didn't feel like I was learning anything. But upon finishing it, I realized that I had learned quite a bit.
You are a good teacher. :) thanks
