Support Services

Have you been affected by a street harassment experience? We hope that our website provides an outlet for you to express any emotion this might have triggered for you, but we understand it’s only the first step, and these experiences affect us far beyond the moment they happen, or even the moment we write them down.

Here is a small list of  physical and online resources that we hope will be of use. Please email us at birminghamuk@ihollaback.org if you think your site/number/contact should be here.
