Sexual Harassment on Business Trips


I found this article recently on the New York Times that talked about how women deal with sexual harassment on business trips.

A group of young women from around the world started an organization called Hollaback!, which uses social media and crowd-sourcing to raise awareness about the issue. It's basically a storytelling platform for women who have experienced sexual harassment. I think it's an awesome way to give women a voice - check it out!
