BACK UP! concrete diaries

Sidewalks, street crossings, corridors, and concrete are hostile territory for women and girls who experience verbal and physical assault from men on a daily basis.

This is the official trailer for the feature length documentary that explores how women deal with this daily violence. It will especially look at how women are fighting back and defining their own personal and public spaces.The documentary adds to a bustling dialogue on gender and body politics, as it delves into women's rights to exist freely in society.

We just edited the first 30-minute version of the documentary and are in continual production. If you have experienced, witnessed, been involved in, and/or taken a stand against street harassment and have a perspective or story to share, PLEASE contact Nijla Mumin at Nijla1@gmail.com. Please also watch out for BACK UP! at a film festival or community forum near you!

Sadly, don't I know it. I passed by a kindly older woman (50s) and she said hello and complimented me. There was this raggedy group of old men hanging out as well, and when she passed them by they were checking out her butt. So tacky and nasty.

The old coots harass us young women, but they still target older women as well.
