Scott Stringer Gets it Right

HollabackNYC would like to induct Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer into the HOLLA-fame for issuing a ground breaking report about the prevalence of harassment on the New York City subways.

67% of folks who completed the survey were women, 33% were men. Key Findings include:

* 63 percent of respondents reported having been sexually harassed in the New York City subway system.

* 10 percent of respondents reported having been sexually assaulted in the New York City subway system.

* 69 percent of respondents reported having felt the threat of sexual assault or harassment in the New York City subway system.

* Of those respondents, 51 percent reported “sometimes” or “frequently” feeling the threat of sexual harassment or assault in the New York City subway system.

* 96 percent of respondents who indicated that they were sexually harassed did not contact the NYPD and/or the MTA to file a report or seek assistance.

* 86 percent of respondents who indicated that they were sexually assaulted did not contact the NYPD and/or the MTA to file a report or seek assistance.
